Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users
The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

Adopting advanced convergence and seamless management elevates data protections
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices. Customers looking for features that older systems provided might find gaps, but these are typically for very specific needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."
"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"Its flexibility is the most valuable. Being a cloud version, it has more flexibility, and it allows me to incorporate different workloads and consolidate all the data in one place. It has good high availability, and it is also easy to maintain."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"By using their Helios Cloud service, you have all your clusters, no matter where they are located, in one web portal."
"We are happy with the support provided by Cohesity for the issues we've come across."
"Cohesity is a cost-effective storage designed for secondary or archival data. It also integrates well with a number of other systems, like VMware, Pure Storage, or AWS with its large array of APIs available to the user."
"Cohesity DataProtect is more of a unified solution, which is also trying to expand for ransomware protection."
"The solution is stable, with regular updates and patching."
"The SQL Backup and Restore is very easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"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."
"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."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"Cohesity DataProtect needs to improve its reporting capabilities."
"The rack mounting instructions did not appear to be correct, but we were able to overcome it."
"The support is pretty bad."
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"Cohesity came in at the best price. Setup was included and done in half a day."
"There is monthly licensing."
"We purchased support from Cohesity to ensure that should we face an issue, we don't have to deal with different service providers."
"It has reasonable pricing, and we know they can give discounts. If you look at the primary pricing or the list pricing, it conforms to the market pricing, but you have to have a discount on it. Otherwise, it is way too expensive."
"The tool's licensing costs are yearly. It is cheaper than other backup solutions."
"The ROI is huge. Not really measurable at this point, but the price of the unit was a fraction of what a couple hours of downtime could result in."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
