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.

The appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment.

The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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 most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"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."

"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."

"The scalability of the product is fine."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The most valuable feature is that it is simple to use."

"The most valuable features are the ease of administration and the ease of configuration."

"The automated recovery feature of Veritas Alta SaaS Protection makes the recovery much easier, as opposed to earlier methods where we were using scripts to do the restore."

"he most valuable feature is that it's not so intrusive with computer resources."

"Veritas is loaded with features because the appliance is ready to integrate with the cloud in cases where the customers have a hybrid or cloud environment."

"Some of the tool's best features include an enhanced dashboard and strong security features compared to native Veritas. Our environment is entirely automated."

"It's very comprehensive. It's one of the first brands to appear in its field."

"It's a good solution. It's pretty stable."

Cons

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

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

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

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

"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."

"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"The backup reports and the dashboard need improvement."

"Licensing has been a struggle. It went from bronze, silver to gold. Licensing needs more sophistication. It has features that are sold as separate add-ons."

"The usability of the solution isn't the best."

"In the future, we would like to see support for virtualized machines."

"Technical support can be improved."

"They should review the cost aspect of the subscription for Veritas Alta SaaS Protection because customers are going for the cheaper storage, which doesn't give those features in terms of dedup ratios."

"The technical team wasn't very helpful."

"The go-between is a Veritas partner, so the customer support was not that good. The solution is fine except when there is a purchasing crisis where you have to remake the ecosystem. It causes a lot of issues. The support was a problem, but we're okay with it as long as we have someone to communicate with."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

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

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

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"SaaS Backup isn't the most expensive solution."

"This solution is not cheap and not expensive but priced in the mid-range."

"The program is quite expensive."

"I would rate this solution's pricing as five out of five."

"The tool is expensive compared to Veeam."
