Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"One of the best data backup and recovery software out there in the market."

"The good thing is that it's a central console, and in that console itself, we have multiple options, including a file sync option, the ability to take a second backup with the client's own cloud and a universal backup that is like a complete image of the server backup level, and that restoration is very good on the Acronis side compared to other products."

"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."

"The solution has helped us because it supports a lot of platforms and we don't have to install anything at our end in terms of a server and the like; everything is on the cloud and that's a good start for us."

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

"For me, the tool proved most valuable in scenarios where it offered easy setup, fast backups, and recognition of SQL logs on virtual machines."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

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

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"The initial setup of this solution is very good, it has no issues when it comes to installation and once it is configured, including the fine-tuning, it works fine."

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

"Barracuda Backup is really easy in terms of maintenance, and I don't have to worry about changing tapes."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Customer service can open a ticket for you, but it could be several days before you hear back from them."

"At this stage, Acronis Cyber Protect helps me to overcome nothing because it actually caused more problems than it solved."

"Error log interpretation will come back with some great big number, then it will want to go to the internet, but it is a silent site. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to really tell what is going on."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."

"The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker."

"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."

"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning."

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

"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."

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

"The price of this solution could be improved."

"We are still trying to get confident with daily usage of the solution. It is not always stable."

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

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

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"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."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it is inexpensive. However, it is an old license."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the pricing is reasonable."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."
