Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features

When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Ahmad Mohammed EL-DADA

Manager, Information Technology at KUN Sports

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface

The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."

"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"It's incredibly fast."

"It has a straightforward installation."

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."

"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."

"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."

"The main benefit of this solution is that it automatically scans the files for ransomware after the backup is complete."

"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."

"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."

More Druva inSync pros

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

"The search features must be improved."

"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

"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."

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."

"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."

"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"The product needs to improve its support."

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They're on par with their competitors."

"Because it is a single package that includes everything, they are worth the money that you need to pay for it. You are paying for the hardware, licensing, the software that runs on it, regular updates, the cloud features included with it along with the replication, and your space allocated in the cloud for replication. It is fairly priced for what you get."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."

"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."

"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
