Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"This is a perfect option for an SMB."

"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."

"Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."

"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are cloning and many other capabilities. For example, you are able to clone the whole operating system and drive. Additionally, the solution is a complete package."

"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."

"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."

"The pricing 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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

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

"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 backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."

"It does not delete locked files."

"The product needs to have a simple DR process."

"The tool's dashboard for daily operations is useful, but I find that it could benefit from enhancements, particularly in terms of reporting. While exporting reports, the format is not fancy as it appears on the dashboard. The exported files are typically in Excel CSV or PDF format."

"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."

"We needed to have help from the vendor for implementation. The vendor used two personnel. We have system administrators and they do the server backups themself."

"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."

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

"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."

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

"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. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

"It is not always stable."

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

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

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

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

"It has already paid off itself in the first few months that we implemented it."

"We use the free version that provides very basic functionalities."

"Acronis Backup is cheaper. If you install it on a hypervisor, you only pay for a single license. It would be for the backup server, and everything else will be covered by it. In that sense, it becomes a much cheaper option. However, if you have virtual machines, then it can be more expensive. Also, if you have a lot of physical machines the cost can be higher because each entity will need a separate license. There is a monthly license cost."

"​I like the pricing​, and that it is easy to use and has performed well. ​"

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

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

"They're on par with their competitors."
