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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."

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

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

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."

"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 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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"I have found the most valuable feature to be the configuration and ease of use."

"I think the interface is straightforward"

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."

"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."

"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."

"The stability of Veeam ONE is good."

"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."

"It is a stable and scalable solution that's easy to operate and restore."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

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

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

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

"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

"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 automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."

"The product is expensive."

"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."

"Sometimes, it's a little difficult for me to use its user interface. Its scope is very big with a lot of tuning, settings, and so on. If it's difficult for me, it must also be difficult for our customers."

"Immutability could be improved."

"Could offer a better conclusion of the backups."

"The deduplication feature could be improved by changing to global deduplication."

"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

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."

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."

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

"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."

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

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."

"The price is a bit high."

"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."

"This is not an expensive solution. It's on the cheaper side."

"The pricing is good and affordable."

"The price is quite competitive compared to other products in my region."

"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."

"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
