We performed a comparison between Azure Backup 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 initial setup was very easy."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"All of the core features are valuable to us."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"It offers seamless integration."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"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."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"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."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"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."
"We have a concern with the backup when were are working with VMs that are running in Barracuda Firewall because it usually fails."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"The Azure Backup support for on-premises service is limited."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"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."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
