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 needs faster navigation, integration, broader support, improved UI, and competitiveness, especially in India.

Feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser.

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

It would be nice to see technology supporting the Elastic Fabric Adapter on Amazon AWS, therefore getting RDMA technology for more low-latency connections.

Featured Reviews

Liam Trosad - PeerSpot reviewer
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
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.
Punit Waghela - PeerSpot reviewer
Technical Specialist at Softcell Technologies Limited
Offers advanced features with notable emphasis on innovation
The best features of NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP include deduplication, compaction, and autonomous ransomware technology that native cloud storage solutions in AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud do not support. Moreover, NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows the use of multiple protocols including NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, whereas native options may only support NFS and iSCSI. Customers already using on-premises NetApp storage such as FAS, AFF, or ASA can experience the same functionality on the cloud with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP, which adds significant value. For data protection, customers can take advantage of the Snapshot technology available with NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP. This technology facilitates data recovery by allowing snapshots to be stored either on the same storage or on a disaster recovery (DR) storage. NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP helps us to take snapshots and store them on the same storage, with options for migration or replication of those snapshots to different storage, including on-premises DR storage or other cloud storage, providing excellent disaster recovery capabilities.
