Featured Reviews

Gerard Wolters - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Jörg Köhler - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances remote access and integration with third-party tools
I use NinjaOne for managing smaller clients, specifically their devices and software, for small to medium businesses. I provide remote management services through NinjaOne. It allows clients to use NinjaOne for remote access to their computers for home office purposes. This feature is highly…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"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 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 most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."
"Good at managing updates and for remote support."
"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."
"NinjaOne saves me time and improves my troubleshooting process by providing information automatically so I don't have to search for it."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"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."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
"One challenge I face with NinjaOne is that when remoting in, sometimes the end user has a resolution with very tiny text, making it necessary to zoom in to see what the other computer is displaying."
"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."
"It can have more integrations with third-party providers, such as Deep Instinct. They do partner with certain antivirus or remote access tool partners, but they can increase their portfolio to have more choices."
"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."
"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."
"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."
"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."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
"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."
"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"Its pricing is great."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
