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

"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."

"In summary, this is a good product and we plan to continue recommending it to our clients."

"The most valuable feature is the Live Boot solution, a feature on the Barracuda that is very helpful for critical service because 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."

"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."

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

"Trust Barracuda, at least give them a try, because unfortunately, they're not very known."

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"One of the most valuable features of Veeam is that the restoration is easy and reliable."

"Replication is most valuable."

"I like all the backup features in Veeam."

"Veaam ONE is a very good product in virtualized environments."

"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."

"Veeam is easy to use."

"I like all of Veeam's features, but the most important ones are the tape backups and replication. Those are the two options available for us, and it's enough for our needs."

"It's a very easy solution to use."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"We are still trying to get confident with daily usage of the solution. It is not always stable."

"Our second issue was backing up Solaris / Sun systems."

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

"Scalability-wise, there is room for improvement."

"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."

"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."

"I think scalability is the big gap."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"Backup compression. It has got better but still could improve somewhat."

"They could offer a hardware appliance as a comprehensive, full-stack solution."

"The initial setup of Veeam Backup Replication is straightforward. The process took approximately two days. The setup could be streamlined to take less time."

"Tape support is still not performing as expected (at least for my opinion) as Veeam relates to tape backup as a repository instead of a long term archive."

"Since they don’t have any technical support center in India, I would like to rate it a 5 out of 10."

"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."

"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."

"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."

"The product is competitively priced."

"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."

"We purchase a license annually."

"We pay for a license to use this solution, and we recommend that our customers pay for a license and a renewal license."

"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."

"The cost should be adressed."

"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."
