Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"As far as I'm concerned, it's rock solid and I'm very pleased with it and I will continue to sell it and support it."

"The most valuable feature of the solution for me is that it's a full software as a service product so deployment time will be very quick."

"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."

"The solution suits my business needs; it works perfectly for me."

"It is a very stable solution."

"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."

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

"Compared to what we had before, we now have ease of use."

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

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

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

"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."

"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"Barracuda Backup is really easy in terms of maintenance, and I don't have to worry about changing tapes."

"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."

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

"The ability to use computing resources, the storage nose is stuck frequently and we have to reboot it, and I'm told that it needs 128GB memory and SAS disk to keep it stable, all of these elements leave me unsatisfied."

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

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"They can include something called a backup appliance. Although Acronis is a software-driven company, it would be good for customers to have some kind of backup appliance on top of a lightweight operating system."

"Acronis Backup support could improve."

"The technical support is less than average."

"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

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

"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."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

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

"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 tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."

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

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

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

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

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

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

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

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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)."
