Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"It solved our problem with Linux servers by giving us an image based backup system that is easy to use."

"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."

"It’s invaluable for disaster recovery and is pretty quick doing a restore."

"Acronis Backup and Recovery with universal restore allowed me to get back online again."

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

"Acronis Backup is easy to use."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."

"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."

"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."

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

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

"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 scalability of the product is fine."

"The most valuable feature is the Live Boot solution, a feature on the Barracuda that is very helpful for critical service because 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."

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

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

"We have sometimes issues with the child copies and other similar functions, but it's normal with any backup solution. We need to fix those issues first in order for us to be able to do the backup properly."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system."

"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."

"The pricing could be improved."

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

"The stability could be compromised if there's no program or scheduling of Windows updates."

"We are trying to restore from the backups that the supplier help us to create, but we are having problems restoring."

"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."

"The price of this solution could be improved."

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

"It is not always stable."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
