Featured Reviews

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."
"The stability has always been very good."
"The solution has good scalability."
"Backup and Restore for SharePoint & Microsoft Office 365 is easy to use."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"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 product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"We need more options for the backup schedule."
"The solution's updates and rollouts of the patches cause a lot of problems."
"The user experience needs a little refreshing touch."
"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."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"The search features must be improved."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution could also be cheaper."
"Regarding CloudArchiver, you purchase per terabyte."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive."
"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."
"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"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."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"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."

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...
