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.

Experience with offsite backup enhances data integrity and reduces on-premise reliance
One of the features of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection that customers are looking for is immutability. This is the most important feature. With the cloud, Veritas Alta SaaS Protection is actually in the cloud, which means they have unlimited space to do their backups. They can expand on a need-to-need basis. The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore. Currently, it's automated so you just do a click. You select the feature in a graphical interface, making it easy to use even for a newbie.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup positively impacts my organization by making things easier for my team, allowing them to have more time for their lives and not spend excessive time in the office."
"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup really helped considerably with getting healthcare storage and backups back up quickly."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"I appreciate that Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup saves everything for us, and it's secure and write-once, which means the data cannot be corrupted."
"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 initial setup is pretty simple."
"I would recommend this solution because it covers the total scope of Office 365."
"It offers general business continuity and disaster recovery for the industry."
"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."
"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."
"What I like most about Veritas SaaS Backup is that it is easy to work on and has compatible features."
"The solution is quite stable, and we haven't had any problems over the past five years of use."
"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."
"I think the most important feature is the ability of SaaS Backup to cover all modules proposed by Office 365, because competing solutions don't cover the total scope."
 

Cons

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"I think new IT workers will struggle to recover data from Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup due to the user interface."
"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."
"The reason I would not rate it higher is that response times for complex cases and the escalation process sometimes can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Where there is a problem is it does not have enterprise-level backup or multi-cloud workloads."
"Other people will prefer this solution because they're used to it. However, from my point of view, you have more breaks, more failures on it than you will with Commvault."
"The solution does lack a lot of features, and we're considering switching."
"The implementation could be improved. The server setup is very easy, but some specific client implementation, for example, Oracle or SQL servers, are a little bit complicated. they should offer a bit more assistance with the setup for these particular items."
"Currently, it isn't possible to use anything other than Veritas cloud to back up to. I think today it's important to cover the three major cloud provider: GCP, Azure and AWS."
"Licensing has been a struggle."
"The tool can be improved in terms of maintainability and flexibility, especially as companies grow larger. In these aspects, I feel Veeam is better for cloud and operational purposes."
"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."
"When you finish a project, the client should have the opportunity to browse the files rather than simply ending the contract. Also, it's not possible to recover earlier versions. It should be possible to have a database for recovering files after you finish a contract. There's no solution for this from Veritas."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The program is quite expensive."
"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."
"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."
"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."
