"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"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."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"The solution adequately handles data storage."
"The deduplication is the most valuable feature because it helps to control the overhead."

"It's the perfect solution for virtual and container directives. The data reduction feature works well, and we haven't had any issues."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."

"They should include a feature similar to S3 bucket."
"A lot of improvement is required in Dell's first level of support."
"The Dell EMC PowerProtect Data Manager reports could improve. There should be different kinds of reports on failures, such as dashboards that we can submit to top management or auditors."
"Management is difficult and it is hard to determine when things aren't working properly."
"There is always room for improvement. The compression ratio should be improved as well as the efficiency."
"You need to use additional software to back up entire environments. It will be good if they could support entire tape libraries."
