Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."

"One of the best data backup and recovery software out there in the market."

"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."

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

"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."

"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."

"Any customer who uses Acronis that has needed to restore anything from their backup has had a 99% success rate, where they have been able to restore data without any problems."

"The most valuable feature is the fact that it backs up my systems transparently in the background, and I'm not even conscious of it."

"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."

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

"We have been able to migrate from tapes to Barracuda Backup, and that has helped us tremendously."

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

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

"With Barracuda backup solutions, we have a complete and all-round data protection in place."

"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."

"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 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."

"If there was a wizard that would lead you down a road, when creating a backup, that would probably be better than having to go online or call somebody to actually do a backup. It's not intuitive..."

"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side, but Veeam's cloud backup is quite efficient on cloud backup, especially when it comes to Microsoft 365, etc."

"If you are the owner of the information, and even when you need it faster, you have to pay for the information, come on. It's ridiculous what they are asking for."

"On the cloud side, security could always be better."

"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."

"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there."

"There are some frustrating things. One in particular is when you're looking through your logs from the previous night's jobs and you see a warning, and you go in, and you try to dig through to find what exactly the warning meant, and you can't find anything."

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

"I think scalability is the big gap."

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage of the system such as detailed backup statistics, but it is not essential."

"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."

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

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning."

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

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

"Pricing is what it is. I don't shop around once I find a good solution. I insist they maintain ongoing support year after year for updates and tech support."

"We have a Cyber Cloud backup license and we have on-premises storage. Both can be useful for our customers."

"Our licensing fees are on a yearly basis."

"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."

"The tool is cheap compared to other products."

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

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

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