Cons
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale.""We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported.""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.""I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud.""In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality.""The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud.""The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup Cons →

"The downside of the flexibility on offer is if you over-configure it, it may fail to function as some configurations may not match.""The technical support is poor and should be improved.""If you compare the solution with the same specific features and enhancements on another solution, Data Protector is expensive. This is especially true when compared to, for example, Veeam.""Other tools seem to be easier to use.""Micro Focus Data Protector must improve its overall evolution record. They need to focus on hardware based instant recovery, client recovery, and cloud ability. Now there is no cloud ability.""People prefer Veeam because the interface is easier, and Data Protector is difficult in comparison.""We face challenges with its stability.""The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
