Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

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

"The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"It's always stable. It's very good, useful, and user-friendly."

"The solution was easy to install and to deploy."

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

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."

"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."

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

"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 product is easy to use."

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

"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

"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."

"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'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."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

"We would always support better pricing."

"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."

"The UI performance can be slow at times, especially when handling operations like checking backup status or initiating a restore. The response time for these actions could be improved."

"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."

"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."

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

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

"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."

"It is not always stable."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

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

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

"The price of Acronis Backup could be reduced, it is expensive."

"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."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

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

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"There is a license required for this solution and it can be on a monthly basis."

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

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

"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."
