We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Commvault Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"The embedded deduplication engine is really good because we use a Near Line SAS disk as a repository for our backups, and we don't need to pay for another appliance such as a Data Domain or Quantum so that we can have hardware-based deduplication."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"The data protection itself is very good compared to other products."
"The product alerts the security team about threats."
"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."
"The return points are very valuable."
"We now have the capability to recover a virtual machine without relying on the NFS system, but instead are able to use certain features provided by Commvault."
"There's no impact on the endpoint. It runs in the background and it's something that you install and then forget about."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"We get an alarm if a lot of files are deleted, for example. That could look like ransomware, even if it is not."
"The stability of the tool could be improved."
"The most common feedback I get in terms of Commvault is that it can be complex. I always refer my customers back to their own environment. Almost everything that goes into Commvault is a request by a customer. While it can be complex, it can also be very simple. You just need to understand your environment in order to make sure that you really need to turn on that extra feature or thing inside of Commvault. Maybe you don't need those things. It really depends on how simple or complex your environment is, whether you need all of Commvault's features."
"They need to improve when it comes to large, video file archiving. They're good, but they have not met my expectations as a customer in this area."
"We had some small issues with the reporting, but that was just a matter of fine-tuning the kinds of messages we receive by email. It was a little overwhelming in the initial configuration. So we reviewed our configuration with our partner and customized the reports so that we only get the important reports. I haven't seen any big issues or things that the solution is missing."
"The local support could be improved."
"I just wanted to compare the features, which are there in EMC NetWorker, which are not available in Commvault. We have things using Networker."
"I would like to see a more user-friendly GUI."
