Reliable image backups have protected our HMIs and simplified on‑premises recovery

We have not tried the vulnerability assessment feature yet because we have a different set of protocols for our cybersecurity. We conduct audits and plug the gaps as part of our security approach. We are not using AI with the anti-malware from Acronis; we are using it only for backup and recovery. On the backup and restoration side with Acronis Backup, some on-premises AI features which can detect anomalies may be something which would improve the product significantly. Otherwise, we are not very comfortable with cloud-based solutions at this time. We are looking for products which are entirely on-premises, so they remain within our control.

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

"It is fast and easy for an image-based backup across all platforms."

"The product meets our company's disaster recovery needs."

"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."

"Technical support from Acronis is pretty good; it is world-class, with very good and broad support."

"It offers an excellent level of service."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"The image backup and image restore features have been very beneficial to us."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection, and additionally, the documentation is good."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pros

"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it, and basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free and our customers are happy."

"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."

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

"Customers get a return on their investment from day one."

"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."

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

"The product is easy to use."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

Cons

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

"The solution could be better if some of the features were more in-depth."

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."

"The replication part and failover are areas in which improvements are required."

"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."

"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."

"When I first started using Acronis, I found it a little bit confusing when it came to the configuration."

"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."

More Acronis Cyber Protect cons

"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."

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

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

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

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

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue."

"They keep you waiting and then they don't come up with a real solution."

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is comparable to the newest solution available on the market, Altaro."

"You pay for what you use in the cloud. If you don't start the virtual machine in the cloud, you only pay for the information stored there. But when you start the virtual machine, another pricing model is activated."

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

"The price of the solution is expensive and could be reduced a little."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

More Acronis Cyber Protect pricing and cost advice

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"They're on par with their competitors."
