ICT manager at Oosterhof Holman

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."

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

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

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

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The user interface is good and it is very easy to use."

"The most valuable addition recently introduced is the Continuous Data Protection feature."

"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."

"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."

"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."

"It's a pretty complete product."

"The initial setup for a simple environment is very easy. We just do next, next, next, next for the installation. It can be complicated in a complicated environment. It can be simple for a simple environment. I enjoy installing it. It has a lot of features."

"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."

Cons

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

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

"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."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"I would like them to move back to host licensing."

"Some of the best practice documentation could be improved."

"I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies."

"The tech support needs improvement."

"They need to address the confusing recovery dialogue."

"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."

"This is an expensive solution."

"I don't see much room for improvement except that the price could be better."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

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

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."

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

"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."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"We purchase a license annually."

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"I would say that the product is fairly priced."

"The price of the solution could improve when comparing it to competitors. The market is very competitive and they should have some discounts or special offers."

"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."

"I find the pricing to be okay."

"We have a yearly perpetual license."

"We pay on an annual basis. We pay roughly $12,000 for our software subscription."
