Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"All the necessary features required to set up a proper backup are already present in Acronis Backup."

"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."

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

"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."

"The ability to clone backups."

"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."

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

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"The scalability of the product is fine."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 use."

"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 whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"It does not delete locked files."

"We would always support better pricing."

"It would be nice to have a partition that I can boot and reinstall when taking a backup image from the operating system."

"Acronis Backup has a straightforward initial setup process and an easy-to-use interface. However, a potential issue for Acronis partners is that registered partners do not have access to marketing materials, which can make it difficult for them to reach mass markets and sell the product. This could be improved by allowing registered partners to access marketing materials and tools, such as email templates, that would help them to promote Acronis Backup effectively."

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

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

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

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

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

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

"The price is reasonable."

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

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"Our licenses come with a one-time yearly subscription fee."

"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."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

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

"They're on par with their competitors."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
