Offers cost-effective data backup with room for user interface improvements
I work with various Barracuda products based on customer requests, including Barracuda Backup and Barracuda WAF. In the past, I also worked with Barracuda Web Security Gateway, but it has been phased out One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage. If…

Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Barracuda Backup is cost-effective because there is no licensing cost per server or VM."
"One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage."
"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it's on the cloud, so there is no need for hardware."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
 

Cons

"Barracuda Backup's support could be improved because sometimes the support team is situated outside the country, leading to time zone issues."
"Barracuda Backup's user interface needs to be renewed as it appears outdated."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"In using Barracuda Backup, sometimes the VM has issues and becomes non-functional, requiring support tickets to resolve."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
