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.
JonMcWilliams - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable and reliable product that is good for data security and disaster recovery
We use the tool for our Microsoft 365 customers for their backup of Teams, OneDrive and SharePoint data. We also use it for data security and disaster recovery.  The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable. The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage."
"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."
"Barracuda Backup is cost-effective because there is no licensing cost per server or VM."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it's on the cloud, so there is no need for hardware."
"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 product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"Barracuda Backup's user interface needs to be renewed as it appears outdated."
"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 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."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
