We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Barracuda Intronis Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"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."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"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."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"It is not always stable."
"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."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
