Pramodh Maheshwar - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution for backup and restore that has an easy setup
The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems. There's no other way around it. Recently, we have also faced RDS and print server issues. One of our clients experienced some remote desktop service issues. These things keep happening with Microsoft. They have a patch, and then they have some other rollout that fixes it. The solution should be more consistent with its patching updates.
Gerard Wolters - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features
When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature includes leaving the stub files behind and integrating that with the recenter feature."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The solution has good scalability."
"The stability has always been very good."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"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 product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"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."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"I think the solution itself keeps up with everything else. Sometimes it would be nice if they could move a little bit quicker and have faster updates, but in terms of the features, it's absolutely fine and adequate."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"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."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"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 Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution could also be cheaper."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"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."
"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."
"They're on par with their competitors."
"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."
"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."

The pricing is very competitive. Licensing is on a yearly basis, and Barracuda even provides replacements after three years if a device reaches end of life, without any extra charges.
What needs improvement with Barracuda Backup?
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...
