Archives the backup of emails and has excellent support

I think we can leverage more on backing up or collecting some data for all of the features that Office 365 gives us. Currently, they are doing the backup of Teams. They could also add the backup for the planner. For the Barracuda Backup system, they could at least have a chance to provide the backup for laptops and computers to the cloud. I would like to see a way to increase space. That is one of two questions that we get from customers, "And what happened if I need to increase space?" I would rate Barracuda Backup at a nine on a scale of ten.

Provides server-side and backend application support but needs better interface

The last update made the interface look somewhat unfamiliar to users. Data recovery was technically flawless at some point. However, an update after a merger changed things. The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward as before, and we're facing some challenges. Specifically, one user encrypted their data, and since they have left the company, we cannot decrypt it. This has resulted in a loss of access to that data.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

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

"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."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"The product is easy to use."

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

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."

"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."

"The initial setup is straightforward."

"Druva inSync is very easy to use."

"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."

"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."

"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."

More Druva inSync pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."

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

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"This solution would benefit from the inclusion of an on-premise backup feature, as currently, they are offering everything in the cloud."

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"I would like to see security improved in the next release."

"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."

More Druva inSync cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"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."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"The pricing is good."

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
