Pros
"Granular restoration is extremely useful in Altaro VM Backup for MSPs since it is something that we make use of the most in our company."

More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Pros →

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good.""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.""The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly.""Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable.""I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable.""The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do.""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.""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."

Cons
"A technical person who hasn't received any dedicated training or hasn't gone through the documentation part of the solution may find the product to be a little non-intuitive at times."

More Altaro VM Backup for MSPs Cons →

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration.""Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow.""It is not always stable.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality.""The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud.""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.""I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
