We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Carbonite Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The solution is very stable."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
"It seems reliable and easy to use."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"The Granular Restore of SQL feature has been a lifesaver more times than I can count. One of the main reasons for looking at Carbonite was their support for platforms like AIX and AS/400 Series."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"The only thing that I would like to see improved is related to marketing. Currently, it is very difficult to find the right paper and stuff for me. Their marketing department should provide better information because currently, it is very difficult to find information on the internet. It was bought over by OpenText, and you won't be able to find a lot of information about this solution on their site. They should also provide training facilities for commercial purposes. Some of my colleagues recently went for pilot training, and they were technical. If I want to get trained, the training has to be more commercial. Currently, there is no such training for users like me."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet. Its public cloud support can be improved. I would love to see the public cloud support for object storage, and it would be great, but what I always hear from the folks at Carbonite is that in a lot of cases, it directly competes with their cloud offering. So, I don't know when or where that will go or if that will go anywhere, but we are hopeful to see something. The dashboard is a little outdated. If they gave it a facelift and put some better design around their dashboard, that would be tremendous. I generally care less about the visual aesthetics of an application as long as it does what it needed to do, which is true in the case of this solution. We also have the Microsoft 365 platform. Because they're two separate platforms, I have to log in to my Microsoft platform to manage it, and I have to log into my Carbonite server backup platform to manage it. Having these two coexist together in one management console is really what we're looking for, but we went for it knowing this. We also knew that there would be some integration coming down the road. So, we're again hoping to see some of that coming in 2021."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
