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.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"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 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 features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"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 main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."
"Veeam Data Platform manages and protects data across multiple cloud environments amazingly."
"They introduced a new feature called the Immutable Repository feature, which helps protect environments from malware attacks that target backup file extensions."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to restore the VMs into a test environment."
"Features with the most value are Instant VM Recovery, SQL Explorer and Exchange Explorer."
 

Cons

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"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."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"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."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"I've never considered what improvements Veeam needs, and I haven't asked our customers if there is any room for improvement. As the manager, I only see the reports."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
"Pricing can be improved."
"This is an expensive solution."
"A backup and replication solution should be able to back up a system and do recovery very fast. Even though Veeam Backup & Replication is able to meet most of our needs, it would be better if they can make it faster for backup and restore."
"The product is expensive."
"We had one problem once with the network."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"They're on par with their competitors."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
"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."
"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."
"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."
"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."
"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."
"The cost should be adressed."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
