Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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."

More Barracuda Backup Pros →

"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs.""We don't need to manage different devices.""It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment.""The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast.""The most valuable feature is the deduplication rate.""Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP.""IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too.""The solution is strong."

Cons
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."

More Barracuda Backup Cons →

"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive.""The solution should be easier to use.""I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier.""We would like to see the pricing drop a bit.""After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised.""Managing the product is a little bit complicated.""Dell PowerProtect DP needs to include more features and improve backup for a continual base.""We cannot add IDPA to DPC, and each IP has a DP Central, which cannot monitor other IDPAs."

    Simple to deploy, scale and manage
