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

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

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

"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."

"The product is easy to use."

"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."

"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Works in the background and users are able to perform restores."

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

"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."

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

"Backup and recovery have been great, but I love having the ability to keep the hybrid type build which they offer."

"It required very little ongoing maintenance once setup."

"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."

"t has a very user friendly status bar with common errors and has logs built in to the console so we can review the issues or status of CrashPlan."

More Mimecast Incydr pros

Cons

"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

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

"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."

"Barracuda works great for smaller network environments, which are not that complex. It is hardware-based with a Linux core, which you don't have access to, and a lot of stuff happens on the back-end. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"Java, please get rid of Java."

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

"More security would be nice, I would love to be able to remotely brick a stolen laptop and it's hard disk drive (HDD)."

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

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

"Due to recent changes that effectively abandoned an entire segment of their user base, I no longer trust nor can recommend Code42 products."

"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."

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

More Mimecast Incydr cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"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."

"You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

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