Antero Vasconcelos - PeerSpot reviewer
An enterprise solution for backup and ransomware protection
Barracuda is a good product, and it allows us to protect all the information that resides in Office 365, SharePoint, OneDrive, and Exchange Solutions. It is easy to maintain Barracuda. Every happy customer is a good customer. If they're happy with our solution, it's a certified customer. Therefore, they are a good customer. That's why customer satisfaction is a good point for continuing to promote the product. The most valuable aspect of Barracuda Backup is its data recovery process. The feature that most customers appreciate is the ability to restore files to another system or location rather than solely restoring to the original data source. It can restore data for every peer spot in the clinic or replace it with a suitable alternative. I recommend the solution if you need a reliable backup. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
