Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Rating shows fast restoration and reliable support with scope for improved integration and database backup options
The product needs improvement to become better. For example, we attempted to integrate with Postgres SQL server to backup the database alone, which was not supported. For this reason, we required a separate solution for database backups. While other SQL servers are supported, Barracuda Backup has limitations with database backups. The main area for improvement is integration and support for databases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Barracuda email security works effectively with O365, and we have been able to achieve many use cases that other competitive products such as Micro, Fortinet, Trellix, or Forcepoint could not accomplish."
"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it's on the cloud, so there is no need for hardware."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"Barracuda Backup is cost-effective because there is no licensing cost per server or VM."
"One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Barracuda Backup's support could be improved because sometimes the support team is situated outside the country, leading to time zone issues."
"In using Barracuda Backup, sometimes the VM has issues and becomes non-functional, requiring support tickets to resolve."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"The product needs improvement to become better. For example, we attempted to integrate with Postgres SQL server to backup the database alone, which was not supported."
"Barracuda Backup's user interface needs to be renewed as it appears outdated."
"It would be nice if a user could delete something and then recover it themselves. That would be a nice feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
