"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it.""The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do.""Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use.""The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions.""The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly.""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.""It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution.""The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."

Cons
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle.""The initial setup is complex.""Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself.""While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility.""Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment.""Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."

More Actifio Cons →

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue.""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.""I would like to see better integration with third-party applications.""I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud.""Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility.""Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow.""When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud.""This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing is on a case by case basis."
  • "Support is very good. They send out a VM link and help you fix any issues."
  • "Actifio is cheaper than other tools."
  • More Actifio 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."

    Questions from the Community
    Top Answer:Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches.
    Top Answer:I think licensing costs are reasonable but we have taxes here in Brazil that make hi-tech products more expensive.
    Top Answer:The area they could improve was when we were in Azure cloud, and Actifio got bought by Google, they stopped supporting us. So that's an area they could improve.
    Top Answer:The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained.
    Top Answer:The solution is pretty expensive but depending on your requirement, it could be worth it. This is the usual customer complaint.
