Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

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

"The solution is stable and reliable."

"Consistency and reliability. The interface is easy to understand and consistent across applications. While not 100%, it is a very reliable backup solution."

"Universal Restore is valuable to us."

"The fact that I can backup my entire computer including the operating system, registry, etc., and my data drive, and optionally restore either one or more entire drives or specific files or folders, with automatic full and incremental backups scheduled nightly, is invaluable."

"The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."

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

"The scalability of the product is fine."

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

"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."

"Trust Barracuda, at least give them a try, because unfortunately, they're not very known."

"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

"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 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."

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"I've had some issues with the understandability of the interface. I think if they had someone with expertise in user interfaces to look at this, they could clean up the user interface."

"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."

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering."

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

"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."

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

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

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

"It is not always stable."

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

"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."

"This is an affordable product and fits within our customers' budgets."

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

"Doing what this is capable of doing, the cost of it is in line."

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

"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."

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

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

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

"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 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."
