We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Rubrik 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 superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"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."
"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
