Sentiment score
7.2
NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP offers scalable growth, dynamic expansion, and flexibility, though large environments face data size limitations.
As the number of Office 365 users and data volume increases, the solution continues to provide consistent performance and reliable protection without adding significant administrative overhead.
Senior Technical Support Executive at digital track
Since it is a cloud-based solution, expanding protection for additional users and Microsoft 365 workloads is straightforward and does not require significant infrastructure changes.
Technical Team Lead - Content Security at Valuepoint Systems
If you are going to talk about scalability, it would really depend on the tenant size, considering we are dealing with 365, Teams, and SharePoint backup concurrency.
Storage Consultant Storage at Hewlett Packard Enterprise
It wouldn't help with outages either; the scaling is manual, and there are no processes we've used to automate that for unexpected scenarios.

Room For Improvement

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup requires better integration, user-friendliness, multi-platform support, and affordability for improved restoration and accessibility.
NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP users seek improved scalability, integration, ease of use, and features like security, monitoring, and cloud compatibility.
Feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser.
Microsoft 365 Konsult at Canmer Data AB
Restores are search-based, and sometimes this is challenging as users, for example, do not remember what a file name or lost file is or when it was lost.
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup gives totally unlimited all parameters for OneDrive, SharePoint, email, and Teams.
Regional Pre Sales Engineer at Roundrobin Tech
My opinion is that support is generally very good. There are instances where they take longer to respond or resolve issues, especially when customers have urgent needs, but ultimately, resolution is achieved.
Technical Specialist at Softcell Technologies Limited
It would be nice to see technology supporting the Elastic Fabric Adapter on Amazon AWS, therefore getting RDMA technology for more low-latency connections.

It is around £5 per user, which could be pricey for big companies.

Valuable Features

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup integrates with Microsoft 365, providing secure, efficient backup and recovery with AI-driven threat detection.

Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location.
Microsoft 365 Konsult at Canmer Data AB
It's now safer to move data to Microsoft 365 as we are now sure that the data is backed up, which frees up resources needed for an on-premises data center.
Senior Network Engineer at KDInfotech
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.
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
The granular ability to divide up the performance and the amount of storage you want is really fantastic.

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.

Offers performance control and cloud integration while supporting data management with granular flexibility
The scalability of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is interesting. We have thought about it, but we haven't used it. I think the scalability is something you scale up rather than respond to peak demand. It wouldn't help with outages either; the scaling is manual, and there are no processes we've used to automate that for unexpected scenarios. We like the scalability; it's enough for what we're planning to use, but we haven't used any advanced features. The standard platform is NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which is their cloud service. In fact, that's probably the most experience I have with NetApp. I've experienced it on-premise, but kind of secondhand.
