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.

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

"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 important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"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."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."
"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."
"The tool's most valuable feature is third-party application updates."
"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."
"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."
"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."
"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."
"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."
 

Cons

"It is not always stable."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"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."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"The search features must be improved."
"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."
"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."
"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."
"I want NinjaOne to improve the reports."
"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."
"The graphical user interface could be improved."
"The network monitoring needs to be improved."
"Lacks sufficient integrations with other PSAs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."
"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"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."
"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."
"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."
"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."
"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."
"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."
"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."
"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."
