Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The AI-based antimalware feature in Acronis Cyber Protect is very effective in preventing cyber threats, providing inception into threats and how to react with them before securing, and is a great asset as a feature."

"It has simple buying options and deployments, you can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions, Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy, it does not consume much hardware, the administrator's tasks are very simple, it is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."

"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick."

"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."

"Acronis Backup is valuable if your data is affected by ransomware, you are able to get it back."

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

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

"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. Plug a disc in and tell it to recover this machine and it's done. You walk away from it and it's done. Reboot it and it's perfect."

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

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

"We recommend the product to other users because it is a good product."

"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."

"This is a competitive solution that stays on top of cutting edge features."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."

"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."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"It does not delete locked files."

"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."

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

"The search features must be improved."

"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."

"The price of this solution could be improved."

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

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

"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."

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

"The pricing is reasonable. However, it depends on the storage that you use. It would be great to have a package that we can use up to a certain size of the backup, this would allow us to know what the price is going to be up to that capacity."

"The license is a perpetual license. The cost is an area for improvement."

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

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

"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."

"I would say that at the pricepoint that it's at, it's definitely worth the money."

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."
