Senior Technical Engineer at Safezone Secure Solutions Private Limited

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.

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."

"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."

"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."

"I like the incremental backups and their failover."

"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."

"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."

"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."

"It's simple to use."

"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

Cons

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

"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."

"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."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"The price of Veeam Agent for Linux could be reduced."

"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."

"Technical support could be improved."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."

"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."

"The integration needs improvement."
