Acronis Cyber Protect vs Barracuda Intronis Backup comparison

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

"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."

"The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy."

"Acronis has a very rich functionality."

"It makes a full image of the hard drive. If a hard drive fails, all we do is recover to another hard drive."

"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."

"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."

"In our recent experiences, Acronis Cyber Protect proved most valuable during instances of colleagues facing migration challenges due to ransomware impacts. In these situations, where servers and backups were affected, having a backup stored in external drives or other devices within our data centers posed risks. To address this vulnerability, we decided to shift to a cloud backup solution."

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

"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."

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

"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 features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

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

"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."

"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."

"The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks. Calls are often scheduled around four to five PM and tend to occur with a two-hour delay each time."

"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."

"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."

"It does not delete locked files."

"We would always support better pricing."

"I would like to have more hardware space. It would make it better. I would like to have two more terabytes."

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

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

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

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

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

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"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."

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

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

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

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

"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."

"Acronis Cyber Protect's pricing is reasonable."

"The cost of updates is less than $100 USD yearly."

"I think that the prices of the product go up every year. If one is extremely expensive and ten is absolutely cheap, I rate the product price as six."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

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

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

"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."

"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."

"They're on par with their competitors."
