Easy to use, immutable, and provides good deduplication features

When we wanted to back up our Microsoft environment, we looked for a cloud backup. Barracuda provided a cloud backup. There were no other products that offered similar features at that time. I will recommend the product to others. It is easy to use. It is a complete package. It is easy to integrate the product with Microsoft. We have a complete package that includes antispam and email gateway solutions. We can choose any package we want. We use Barracuda Essentials. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

Provides comprehensive visibility and protection, helps in identifying the gaps in security, and comes with excellent onboarding support

In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue. It really has to do with the overall infrastructure and what the organization is prepared to do. If the infrastructure or the networking is a little hinky or you don't have a really finely tuned network infrastructure environment and your patches aren't up to date on your servers and your endpoints, it could get a little sticky. Other than that, it was okay. We really didn't have much problem beyond that. It took a couple of days to sort that out, but it was no big deal.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"The product is easy to use."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."

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

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The solution is very stable. Very rarely do we have any issues with it. We don't have to deal with bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. We find it to be reliable."

"It has quite a bit of flexibility in configuring backup sets."

"There are a couple of things. One of them is that they have what they call Incydr. Their detection and response solution to the insider threat area is called Incydr. That gives visibility to the clients that have widely dispersed employee bases due to work from home, or that had a dispersed workforce predating any of the work from home requirements. Even though they might not be inside the organization physically, they're inside the organization. It allows us to get some visibility into what people are doing, what the context is, and how to control what might be the potential for intellectual property theft or file exposure."

"Risk factors can be adjusted for all intricate details."

"It had the ability to preseed by sending in a data drive and could restore by sending the user a data drive."

"Low system overhead, setting retention policies, ease of use"

"Code42 Next-Gen DLP is scalable."

"Security tools: Being able to monitor data going in and coming off our endpoints. Seeing what it is and where it's going is awesome."

More Mimecast Incydr pros

Cons

"It is not always stable."

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

"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

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

"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

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

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"You can't always filter out data that you'd like to."

"Java, please get rid of Java."

"I would like to see more flexibility on privileges, perhaps create another kind of admin for regions. Also, I would like the ability to access logs without having to be on the actual device or a super-admin."

"What I think could be improved is how I get support."

"The application, written in Java, required far more system resources on a Client than other solutions."

"There doesn't seem to be any feature that is lacking."

"In a couple of instances, we had a little bit of trouble in getting it distributed throughout the organization. We ultimately managed to do it, but they talk about it being a pretty simple process, and it became a little laborious. It would just turn away. The agents were not being distributed. It was just churning and churning and churning. When we were looking for specific categories of data, it was getting bogged down, but that was not even so much Code42, although some of it was their issue."

"I think one we can improve is the compression."

More Mimecast Incydr cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."

"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."

"All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."

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

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

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

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"The pricing is reasonable. It's my understanding that the cost is about $7 for unlimited storage in the cloud per server."

"It used to be a good solution for SOHO in particular as it had unlimited storage for a reasonable price. However, their pricing model has changed and they are now primarily targeting enterprise users."

"They were the best solution and surprisingly enough, the cheapest."

"It was expensive. It was more expensive than Eureka, and it was more expensive than Barracuda Backup, but what we got was a full team. They didn't come in and nickel and dime us. They provided the assistance we needed. They didn't say that they need to charge us for something or it is going to take another statement of work. It was all bundled into it... We pay for the software maintenance. It is probably 18% or 20% of the license fee for rev releases."

"It is 100% worth the cost to get and keep the support, especially when setting it up."
