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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"The initial setup was very easy."
"It provides a much better user experience compared to other vendors. It works faster as well."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"Veeam ONE is a straightforward solution and compatible with almost all hardware."
"I don't have to go back and forth between different applications to get the report I need."
 

Cons

"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"The direct SAN backup integration can be perfected by improving the snapshot removal mechanism and process from the storage volumes."
"Expanding its compatibility to include Linux would represent a significant advancement."
"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."
"For our company's usage, the price of the product is considered to be one of the major drawbacks because we have a lot of infrastructure, and its services don't fit well with our needs."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."
"The product's pricing is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I have found that the reporting could improve in its structure."
"Multithreading of health check process: This can take too much time to process on large jobs and/or large VMs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"On a one to ten scale, where one is very cheap and ten is very expensive, I rate the price as a five out of ten."
"They could work at providing a better price."
"The cost is expensive. It will depend on how you are managing your environment, your requirements, and if you can easily manage a license. It's not that difficult, so you can manage it, but the cost is high, so you need to check directly with Veeam as well as the local partner so you can get the discount prices."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"We are happy with the pricing and we pay for licensing on a subscription basis."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"We have a yearly perpetual license."
"It is more expensive than other solutions."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
