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."

"The most valuable feature is its consistency."

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."

"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."

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

"We have a backup of not only the machine, i.e., the hard drive and data, but we also have the ability to recover to a new piece of equipment fairly quickly."

"The main reason we went with Acronis Cyber Protect is because it provides a virtual machine backup feature."

"It is a very stable 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 product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

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

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

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

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"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."

"The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard."

"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."

"The dashboards for digital operations can be improved."

"It seems like I haven't had any issues since I added the RAM to the Management Server, but it does seem to start being sluggish because I have it running on a Windows 7 machine."

"Sometimes backups become corrupted and can not be access via the Recovery Console, You can send the backups too Acronis support (Could take months depending on the size of the backup) and they will try to recover the data, however rarely do."

"The support and documentation must be improved."

"More flexibility with Acronis Linux Console ability to run modules such as the Acronis Windows console; some LINUS modules are locked."

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize."

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

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

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

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

"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

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

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

"Licensing fees are billed annually and there are no extra charges."

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

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

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

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"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."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."
