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 →

"The most valuable features are the Self-Service, and the ability to search the data.""Overall IBM ProtectTIER is a great solution. It is easy to use.""The command-line interface is good.""The solution is highly stable.""The cataloging is the best feature. It takes millions of frames for the backup. It's incremental, so it takes less time to complete.""In terms of stability, I've found it to be very stable. I've walked into the server room when it was at 60 degrees Celcius, and it was still running fine."
