Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 3, 2024

NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP and Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup compete in the cloud storage and backup software category. Barracuda seems to have the upper hand due to its straightforward setup, integration with Microsoft 365, and cost-effectiveness.

Features: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is notable for its advanced data management, offering SnapMirror, SnapVault, and cloud storage optimization via compression and deduplication. It provides reliable file-sharing across multiple OS. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup excels with Microsoft 365 integration, virus detection, and robust backup retention policies.

Room for Improvement: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP could improve scalability, cloud integration, and user interfaces, alongside technical support and documentation for global users. Barracuda needs to extend support to Google Workspace and refine file recovery processes.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP allows deployment across public, private, and hybrid clouds and receives mixed feedback on technical support. Barracuda supports multi-cloud environments and is praised for its efficient onsite support and problem resolution.

Pricing and ROI: NetApp provides PAYGO and BYOL pricing models, which can be cost-effective at scale but are often perceived as expensive. Barracuda offers economical and straightforward pricing, especially for Microsoft 365 users, aligning well with customer budgets.

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.

Allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution

The tool's most valuable features are the SnapLock and SnapMirror features. If something goes wrong with the data, we can restore it. This isn't a mirror; we store data in different locations. If there's an issue on the primary site, we can retrieve data from the secondary site. Multiprotocol support in NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP is beneficial because it allows customers to manage SAN and NAS data within a single storage solution. This feature eliminates the need to purchase different types of storage.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is pretty simple."

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."

"The product enables us to restore lost files."

"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 is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."

"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."

"The stability has been really good."

"The ability to do a straight SnapMirror from our on-prem to the cloud with no other data transitions is excellent."

"ONTAP is great for helping you migrate on-premise workflows to cloud environments."

"The ability for our users to restore data from the Snapshots is very valuable."

"The main benefit we get from this product is the ability to deploy it anywhere we want, whether that's on-prem, a remote physical location, or in the cloud. It doesn't matter from an operational perspective where it is. The command line and operating system are the same."

"Multiprotocol is the most valuable because Amazon was not able to provide us with access to the same data from Linux and from Windows clients. That was our value proposition for CVO, Cloud Volumes ONTAP."

"Snapshots are one valuable feature within ONTAP, but CVO's appeal is that it acts just like the on-prem solution. It's the same OS, but in the cloud. We can continue to use ONTAP as we did on-premise."

"The FlexClones make all the management easier for us."

Cons

"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."

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."

"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."

"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."

"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

"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."

"We have customers that are still using IBM mainframes and that very old SNA architecture from IBM. There are questions about how you interconnect the data on the mainframe side... But I don't know if it's worth it for NetApp to invest in developing products to include mainframes for a few customers."

"I think the challenge now is more in terms of keeping an air gap. The notion that it is in the cloud, easy to break, etc. The challenge now is mostly about the air gap and how we can protect that in the cloud."

"Cloud Volumes ONTAP's interface could use an overhaul. Sometimes you have to dig around in Cloud Manager a little bit to find certain things. The layout could be more intuitive."

"In terms of improvement, I would like to see the Azure NetApp Files have the capability of doing SnapMirrors. Azure NetApp Files is, as we know, is an AFF system and it's not used in any of the Microsoft resources. It's basically NetApp hardware, so the best performance you can achieve, but the only reason we can't use that right now is because of the region that it's available in. The second was the SnapMirror capability that we didn't have that we heavily rely on right now."

"The support is good in general but the initial, front-line support could be improved. Because I have already been using the product for so long, when I call support I would rather talk to somebody who is a little bit more advanced or senior, rather than talking to the first-level support. Usually, it takes some time to reach out to their senior support."

"The only issue we had lately was that outside our VPC we could not reach the virtual IP, the floating IP. I heard that they have fixed that..."

"There is room for improvement in tier one support, especially with potential language barriers and communication challenges."

"I rate the scalability a five out of ten."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."

"The price of the solution is reasonable."

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."

"This is a cost-effective solution."

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."

"It is not a cheap solution because we need to pay for the license and pay for Azure resources as well."

"Overall, the pricing of NetApp is aggressive and the pricing becomes more aggressive as the amount of data increases. The cost for a given volume of data that you are storing becomes lower. The greater the volume of data, the cheaper the license."

"For NetApp it's about $20,000 for a single node and $30,000 for the HA."

"The standard pricing is online. Pricing depends. If you're using the PayGo model, then it's just the normal costs on the Microsoft page. If you're using Bring Your Own License, which is what we're doing, then you get with your sales contact at NetApp and start figuring out what price is the best, in the end, for your company."

"Once we deploy the pay as you go model, we cannot convert this product as a BYOL model. This is a concern that we have."

"In addition to the standard licensing fees, there are fees for Azure, the VMs themselves and for data transfer."

"The AWS consumer-based pricing model makes it easy for developers to use their credit cards to spin up virtual servers immediately."

"The solution's pricing is reasonable."
