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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"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."

"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 cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

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

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Replication is most valuable."

"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""

"Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent."

"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."

"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."

"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."

"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."

"The solution is very user-friendly."

Cons

"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."

"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"There should be better use of the external hard drives."

"The implementation was straightforward. However, we used an integrator, the process could be easier for us to do it ourselves."

"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."

"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."

"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups or snapshots. That's a nice functionality that Veeam doesn't have."

"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."

"Veeam Backup & Replication could improve by making it more user-friendly."

"We'd like to see them add more custom templates."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"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)."

"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 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."

"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 price of Veeam Backup Replication has been increasing their price and my customers are asking why. They have CPU-based licenses and a Universal License, the prices should be reduced."

"It's the market price. It isn't expensive, nor is it cheap."

"Veeam Backup Replication has a lot of free features. We have a mixture of the paid versions as well as the community version. They are really helpful to us."

"This solution requires a license and the organizations I was involved in were using an enterprise license."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."

"The solution is fairly priced. I rate the pricing a five out of ten."

"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."

"The price is great. It's software related, and I know that might be a good thing because it's a cheap solution to buy and we have been looking for a program for backup and they fit the bill."
