Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."

"After you are done with your first backup you can forget about the solution."

"It offers an excellent level of service."

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

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

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

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

"It has taken a lot of the manual work out of replicating backups."

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

"One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes."

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

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions."

"The product is okay, and we are quite happy with it."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"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."

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

"One of my clients is using version 11.7, which I feel has quite a few bugs and is not easy to work with."

"There can be inconsistencies between builds in terms of the product working with one NIC or another, especially on newer generation servers."

"Acronis Backup support could improve."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"They've got an agent to back up Microsoft SQL, to our Office 365, but there is not an agent to back up my SQL databases."

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me."

"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."

"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"One part of the product that I think needs the most improvement is the recovery feature. It is not as fast as it should be."

"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."

"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."

"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. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."

"Our second issue was backing up Solaris / Sun systems."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"The pricing is significantly higher than it was last year, which is understandable since they have introduced new technology, such as transitioning from backup to cybersecurity."

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

"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."

"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."

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

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"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."

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

"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)."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"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."
