Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"The ability to clone backups."

"Their response is quite efficient."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."

"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

"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."

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

"The product is easy to use."

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"The support and documentation must be improved."

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."

"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"It is not always stable."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"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."

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

"The price is reasonable."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."

"Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get."

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
