"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file.""The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do.""I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable.""It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution.""Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running.""They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us.""It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates.""Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

Cons
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial.""The pricing could be improved.""If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful.""We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself.""On the cloud side, security could always be better.""The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors.""The dashboards for digital operations can be improved.""The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.""We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end.""It is not always stable.""The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint.""I would like to see better integration with third-party applications.""This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale.""I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."
  • "Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."
  • "I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."
  • "It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."
  • "When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."
  • "​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"
  • "Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."
  • "The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."
  • More Acronis Cyber Protect Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
  • "Low, fixed cost with great savings."
  • "You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."
  • "You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
  • "What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
  • "The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
  • "The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
  • "All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."
