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.

Has simplified remote software delivery and script management but needs improved reporting flexibility and better Mac support

NinjaOne's best features include ease of use regarding enablement and deployment, a broad selection and ability of software enablement, and API deliveries. Using CrowdStrike, we are able to tie in NinjaOne's API to have these automatically deliver to endpoints upon addition of those devices to a group with that policy deployed to it. NinjaOne has positively impacted our organization by making delivery easier for our end users and improving the ability to create scripts, manage scripts, and check status of devices and their compliance. This easier delivery with NinjaOne gives us oversight on devices without having to be on the call or remoted in directly to a device.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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 scalability of the product is fine."

"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."

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

"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."

"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."

"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."

"The solution's most valuable feature is related to its remote access...I know that NinjaOne's technical support is good."

"It helps us to be able to have visibility into the overall performance of the servers, laptops, and desktops that we are managing currently."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

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

"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."

"It is not always stable."

"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."

"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

"The search features must be improved."

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"I wish that they integrated it with more antivirus solutions. Currently, they only push Defender, but it doesn't really have integration with SentinelOne. It also didn't integrate with Trend Micro, which we were using previously. I would also like to have more control from the mobile app. As of now, I am able to see some performance values, but I can't see, for example, disk activity or disk performance values. If they can improve their app a little bit, it would help greatly. They can also improve the tech interface. If I assign certain techs to a bunch of specific machines, they only get those alerts that they're assigned to."

"Improvements could be made to reduce NinjaOne's functionalities to focus more on inventory or remote help tools."

"The ability to not have a NinjaOne agent or multiple NinjaOne agents on a singular device is a big pain point for the device, and secondly, the macOS support is also what keeps it from being a higher score."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"NinjaOne's pricing and user interface needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"The pricing is reasonable and cheaper than ConnectWise."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
