Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The recent release, Acronis 12, is integrated with Cloud Acronis and is useful to backup data while providing a stronger security policy for critical data."

"Getting an image of a server machine just for disaster recovery purposes is valuable."

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

"The tool’s licensing and pricing are economical for SMB customers."

"If you need to recover, it's the best recovery software I've ever used and I've been in this business for over 30 years."

"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."

"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

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

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

"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."

"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."

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

"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."

"Comparatively, depending on the setup, it can be costly."

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side, but Veeam's cloud backup is quite efficient on cloud backup, especially when it comes to Microsoft 365, etc."

"The manual is too simple."

"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 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 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."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery."

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

"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow."

"The search features must be improved."

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

"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."

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

"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."

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

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

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

"We were on a perpetual license for Acronis Backup."

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

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

"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."

"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"They're on par with their competitors."

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