More N2WS Backup & Recovery Pros →

Cons
"Bacula needs a graphical user interface because, for administrators, the command-line interface is okay, but for the average user it is not very easy.""It could improve its interface or offer a specific screen for the manager of the company.""Easier setup and configuration, perhaps including a GUI, would be an improvement.""We would like to see an improvement in the functionality of the GUI.""The initial setup could be a bit easier.""A more user-friendly interface (GUI) can be developed.""We are looking for a unique interface that can rule both enterprise and open source editions. Such a thing does not yet exist."

More Bacula Enterprise Cons →

"The GUI has room for improvement.""It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory.""The GUI could be slightly improved.""The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient.""The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want.""More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.""There is room for improvement in stability.""Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This is an open-source solution."
  • "We have a perpetual license."
  • More Bacula Enterprise Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
  • "The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
  • "AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
  • "It's very economical and worth the cost."
  • "It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
  • "The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
