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.

Reliable with good support but needs a better navigation menu
We use Veeam Data to back up our VMware infrastructure Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance. The support team provides answers whenever we need them. It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with. The…

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 backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"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."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"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 superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"The restore capabilities are the most valuable features."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"I have found one of the most valuable features to be the integrity of the backups."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"Veeam is easy to use."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
 

Cons

"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."
"It is not always stable."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"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."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"The search features must be improved."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"The appliance doesn't have a domain. If there was a competitor with a domain, I'd likely use them."
"The replication process is very slow. It takes too long to replicate a virtual machine."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
"This is an expensive solution."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"Integration with other equipment could be improved."
"There might be room for improvement at the plugin level, specifically concerning application plugins."
"It would be better if the solution presented the number of servers and the success rate on the dashboard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
"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."
"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."
"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
"The tool's pricing is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the solution is high."
"I find the pricing to be okay."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."
