Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

"We have saved massive drive space and shortened data transfer time to offsite due to the 8:1 ratio of the de-duplication and changed block tracking."

"All are valuable and reliable with Acronis Backup 11.7.50220."

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"​I have everything I need in the backup or in the partition. ​"

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

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

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

"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 configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

"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."

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

"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."

"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"We would always support better pricing."

"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage."

"Restore processes fail sometimes if the file is corrupt."

"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do, but Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"When we do POCs, we can't open support tickets. We have to go to a PO to open support tickets."

"It is not always stable."

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

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

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

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

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

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

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage of the system such as detailed backup statistics, but it is not essential."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"I find the pricing structure satisfactory, it is around $25 per year."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
