Ransomware attacks have been contained and healthcare data remains accessible 24x7
When I used Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, I liked it. I really did. I cannot think of anything off the top of my head that says this needs to be improved. If we are going to compete with Commvault or Cohesity, some improvements could be made. However, overall, for what we used it for within the healthcare industry, I think it is fine, especially with the ransomware resilience. You have the isolated recovery environment and zero trust backup architecture. These things really are critical for industries in healthcare. Everything that I mentioned, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is for SaaS, so it covers all the bases. It is easily installed within five minutes or so. The cost is simple—you do not have any servers, storage, infrastructure, or maintenance, and it is strictly being used for what it is. Its compliance is competitive. Overall, I would say the cost is simple, you have Entra ID backups, deployment is quick, there is no infrastructure, ransomware protection is there, granular restore, and you have Azure region storage control. Where there is a problem is it does not have enterprise-level backup or multi-cloud workloads. It is best used for small and maybe mid-sized businesses, and I would say within healthcare in particular. It is for cloud-first companies, and only if you have M365 protection for MSPs, which is what NTT Data was. It works within that framework. However, for large enterprises, you do not want to look at it. I would recommend Rubrik or Commvault instead.

A reliable backup product which needs little management
For most technical users the setup and initial deployment are fairly straightforward and once deployed it 99% of the time looks after itself. Installation of the agents is similar to most other products in that it has an install wizard to guide you, the accompanying documentation is also very useful to assist wherever you are in the agent install and policy setup process. Normally our customers' IT team does the deployment of agents, however, this isn't a daunting task unless you are dealing with multiple servers to protect the product. On a server-by-server basis, the deployment doesn't take long. From the MSP side of things, the infrastructure sitting behind the scenes doesn't take too much to install, configure and maintain.

"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The solution is a free engine to help work with the container."
"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."
"Easy verification of things is the most valuable feature."
"This solution is very simple to use and I will recommend it to anybody."
"It does not slow down your computer or use a lot of resources as it works."
"I find the BMR/image and the recovery pieces are valuable."
"The efficiency and convenience are excellent."
"Technical support handled all our issues quickly and effectively."
 

Cons

"The price may be higher as per the competition from local market brands like Acronis or Veeam."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."
"Where there is a problem is it does not have enterprise-level backup or multi-cloud workloads."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"It could be a little bit easier or faster to be able to access data files without having to download anything."
"In the next release I would like to see an improvement in the auto failover option."
"The stability has room for improvement."
"They do not yet have USB recovery but they are adding it in coming releases."
"The support for object storage isn't quite there yet; its public cloud support can be improved."
"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 Hyper-V backup has room for improvement."
"When you have to restore it, Carbonite takes a lot of time."
