ICT manager at Oosterhof Holman

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.

General Manager at SARJAK CONTAINER LINES PRIVATE LIMITED

Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically

One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."

"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."

"The scalability of the product is fine."

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

"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."

"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."

"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Druva inSync's automation has reduced manual intervention in my data management processes."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

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

"It's incredibly fast."

"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."

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

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

"It has a straightforward installation."

More Druva inSync pros

Cons

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

"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

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

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"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."

"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

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

"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."

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

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

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

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

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

More Druva inSync cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."

"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

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

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

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

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

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is good."
