GANESAN K - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
PascalSebat - PeerSpot reviewer
A scalable solution with Veeam and Vertias alliance
I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas.  The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability.  I have been using the product since seven years.  I would rate the product's stability a nine out of ten. I would rate the…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage."
"While the challenges posed by the difficulties were significant, they prompted the replacement of problematic components, resulting in the resolution of issues. Importantly, there were no substantial ongoing concerns. Regarding the overall performance, it has been consistently excellent."
"I am impressed with the tool's technical alliance with Veeam and Veritas."
 

Cons

"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."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"Barracuda Backup's support could be improved because sometimes the support team is situated outside the country, leading to time zone issues."
"Barracuda Backup's user interface needs to be renewed as it appears outdated."
"In using Barracuda Backup, sometimes the VM has issues and becomes non-functional, requiring support tickets to resolve."
"Perhaps the most notable area for enhancement lies in the web interface for management. The current limitations in LDAP editing capabilities are not addressed in the UI, and I haven't observed any recent updates. It's possible that the new version of the DXI service incorporates improvements in the GUI, but I cannot confirm. While there is room for improvement in the current GUI, it remains a relatively minor issue. Overall, the system is comprehensive, covering aspects such as reports on latency and networking, leaving little room for additional enhancements in those areas."
"The product needs to improve performance while scaling out. It also needs to improve stability."
