Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
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. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
Naveen Radhwani - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"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 product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"It's so easy to work with."
"You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"The solution can be used for all Office 365 applications."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The dashboard is useful for managing data backups."
 

Cons

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"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."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"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 needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It would be nice if the solution was more complete. Many customers are looking for a single solution or silo that they can manage everything from. It would be nice, instead of having different products, if everything a client needed was in one solution."
"The product must provide multi-gate connectivity."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"It's quite cost-effective."
"The pricing is not too bad, but could be a little better."
"It is a rather expensive program."
"In one use case, and we have several, to run for a particular customer, the price is about $375,000 a year."
"There is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution, which comes to around 3,000 USD."
"The price is a bit high."
"You could compare it to a Dell EMC or ECS, and I think it's probably a little less costly than that. Within the marketplace, it's a medium cost."
