Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."

"It actually does its job very well and has interesting capabilities, but it has the most awful interface."

"The pricing is fine."

"The tool is user-friendly."

"The setup is very easy."

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

"Their response is quite efficient."

"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."

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

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and 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 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 is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"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."

"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."

"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."

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

"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."

"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."

"The solution needs to have better stability. I would like to improve the tool’s support through calls."

"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."

"Their support process can be quite lengthy...This is an area that needs improvement."

"The reporting can be improved."

"It is not always stable."

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

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

"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

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

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

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

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

"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."

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

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

"I would describe the product as a mid-priced tool for small and medium businesses."

"The pricing model is a little complex to find the right size for what you need. It takes a lot of hours to figure it out."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

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

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
