Gerard Wolters - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"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."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros
"Veeam ONE is the best and the most mature solution for hypervisors and physical machines."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup Replication are ease of use, dashboards, and reporting."
"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."
"The most beneficial aspect of Veeam ONE is the ability to track your company's growth on a month-to-month basis. With this tool, you can determine if you need to purchase more target storage or if you have enough. This is essential for budgeting purposes, as, without this information, you may discover too late that you require additional storage or that your cloud usage is not aligning with what you are being charged. Veeam ONE aids in forecasting and usage analysis, making it a valuable asset."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"I think Veeam ONE is a good product to supervise and monitor infrastructure and for backup purposes."
"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."
"The solution offers the normal benefits of a virtual machine versus a physical, actual machine. It doesn't take up space, for example."

Cons

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"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."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons
"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"There is room for improvement in the application backups, particularly for Oracle and SaaS systems. Veeam Backup & Replication offers a plugin specifically designed for Oracle and SAP HANA databases. In version twelve, they introduced enhancements that allow deploying the plugin from the backup server. However, manual configuration is still required on each server to schedule the backup and specify the backup repository. Additionally, transitioning from a Windows server to a Linux server requires converting the existing model. Previously, Veeam heavily relied on Windows and Microsoft SQL databases for their solution. Fortunately, in version twelve, they introduced an enhancement by offering the option to use a Postgres SQL database, which is an open-source alternative."
"Lacks online training."
"I face difficulties when trying to deploy Veeam ONE because my active directory restricts some particular rights."
"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."
"It needs to offer an automatic check for backups."
"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."
More Veeam Data Platform cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its pricing is very reasonable, but it can be reduced."
"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
"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."
"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 tool's pricing is reasonable."
"They're on par with their competitors."
"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."
More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The licensing is based on the number of cores you have in your ESX or Hyper-V environment."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the price a five."
"The product is inexpensive."
"It is an affordable solution."
"Its price is reasonable for a big company or a big client. It is not too much. It is cheaper than VMware."
"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."
"The software subscription model can be once a year, or every three years, or every five years."
