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.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"With Barracuda backup solutions, we have a complete and all-round data protection in place."

"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."

"One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes."

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

"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."

"I find the most valuable feature is the reliability of the solution."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"What I find most valuable is probably the virtual machine backup; I can really trust those copies."

"The most important features of backups are them being able to make sure they're reliable, and that whatever you need to restore you have access to, and Veeam offers us that."

"If you want to have a small and cheap system, that is not Veeam; but if you want performance, reliability, support, then this solution is best for that."

"While I do not recall whether the latest version is 10.0 or 11.0 I do know that it allows one to make a back up repository that is very scalable and simple."

"It really just works, we don't have backup issues anymore."

"Veeam is by far the solution that delivers a complete set of features for a small price, and the administration is much more easy."

"Veeam ONE saves me a lot of time, so I don't have to look and monitor each service on its own."

"It has a lot of features with a low (reasonable) price when compared with other backup solutions."

Cons

"The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well."

"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 price of this solution could be improved."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

"One part of the product that I think needs the most improvement is the recovery feature. It is not as fast as it should be."

"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."

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

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."

"This is an expensive solution."

"We're using both Backup and Replication, Veeam Cloud Connect, and Veeam Office 365. What I am missing is a good graphical user interface between these three products."

"For me, I have trouble with large VMDK files (multi TB) regardless of where I place the proxy and while there are several others who have similar results, Veeam hasn’t seemed to find a solution for this yet."

"I would like to see better features for exporting to cloud-based repositories."

"The virtual sandboxes seem complex to setup, so I have not invested time in leveraging this feature. It would be nice if this feature was more user-friendly."

"I think Veeam ONE should be included in the base product instead of as an add-on because customers tend to look for simple solutions that are integrated."

"A different kind of scheduling. We would like to do backup twice a day."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"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."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"The solution's pricing is cheap."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."

"We pay every month for Enterprise Plus. There are no additional costs."

"Several licensing schemes are available."

"The changes in pricing have been an interesting aspect. It seems to have become pricier, resulting in a reduction in affordability. There are extra expenses involved, including hardware requirements and the procurement of operating system licenses, which must also be taken into account. I would rate the price seven out of ten."

"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."

"The cost should be adressed."
