Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

"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."

"Acronis Backup is easy to use, intuitive, and has high performance."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to back up and recover our production environment from ransomware."

"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."

"The performance has been fine so far."

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

"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."

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

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

"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."

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

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

"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 scalability of the product is fine."

"Currently, there is no option to use the tape drives again as a backup repository for the cloud deployment."

"No technical support and minimal documentation."

"The solution's reporting feature could be better."

"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."

"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."

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

"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."

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

"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."

"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."

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

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

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

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

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

"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."

"If the solution was less expensive it would be better."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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

"It is very cost-effective for the SMB segment, especially for start-ups and smaller environments. It is cost-effective for on-premises and on-cloud deployments in such environments."

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

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

"The current subscription model of Acronis Backup compared to other backup solutions is not costly."

"We pay a yearly subscription fee and the 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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

"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."

"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."

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