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
It removes the headache and hassle for users. However, there’s a critical issue, especially with endpoint users: any change made will immediately reflect, and another problem is that the backup only retains data for 30 days.  Some users change files they might not remember or need to revert after a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"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."
"Our customers do not need to purchase third party storage or a separate server for data backup."
"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"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."
"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."
 

Cons

"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"The search features must be improved."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"I would like to see security improved in the next release."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The current procedure for data encryption is not as straightforward"
"The speed could be better."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
 

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."
"They're on par with their competitors."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"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."
"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
"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."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"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."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is good."
