Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"It’s a complete solution for data backup and recovery."

"Backups of servers while they are running."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."

"The configuration of automatic backups and the full image of the hard drive, so in case something happens I can recover the full hard drive."

"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration; we can restore the data quickly."

"The licensing model is very good."

"The recent release, Acronis 12, is integrated with Cloud Acronis and is useful to backup data while providing a stronger security policy for critical data."

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

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

"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."

"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it, and basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free and our customers are happy."

"The stability of the solution is very good; we haven't had any trouble at all with it so far and it's very reliable."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"This is not a feature-rich solution."

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

"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."

"For smaller companies, it's a little more challenging to maintain."

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

"Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation."

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

"Scalability-wise, there is room for improvement."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

"The tool's subscription costs are monthly. The product's pricing is fair."

"I would rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten. The tool’s subscription is yearly."

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

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

"When it comes to elements like cost, I think it is the only backup solution which has perpetual licenses, whereby you buy the license once and for all."

"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."

"You don't have to pay for licenses. You can pay per gig per month. It is pretty reasonable, especially when you do it per gig."

"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."

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

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

"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."
