Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"This solution fulfills all of our needs; its reporting features work flawlessly and it does everything that it's supposed to do once it's setup, without maintenance or any additional time."

"Due to some power failure our 10 systems crashed which were recovered in few minutes by the Acronis recovery partition."

"The solution is very user-friendly in terms of the interface - especially if you compare it to other solutions such as Veeam or Veritas."

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

"The most reliable solution that I found was Acronis because of the program, which is why I would choose Acronis."

"I recommend this solution every chance I get, including for personal use."

"The solution is exceptional for desktop backup."

"Our customers can backup to local storage and they can back up or replicate to the cloud."

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

"The scalability of the product is fine."

"The most valuable feature is the Live Boot solution, a feature on the Barracuda that is very helpful for critical service because 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."

"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."

"In summary, this is a good product and we plan to continue recommending it to our clients."

"This is a competitive solution that stays on top of cutting edge features."

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

"There are some limitations to the backup."

"The problems that we face are often related to the customer's network, although sometimes there are problems with the software, such as an error in the configuration."

"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."

"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."

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

"It does not do what it says on the tin at all."

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

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

"The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well."

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."

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

"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."

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

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

"There are monthly fees to use Acronis Backup."

"Its price is quite friendly on the pocket. You need to pay the licensing cost upfront, and then the support charges are on an annual basis."

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

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

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

"They're on par with their competitors."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

"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."

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