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.

Oracle Technology Manager at MOPCO

Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features

The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

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

"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."

"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

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

"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."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

Cons

"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

"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."

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

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

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

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

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."

"The installation is cumbersome."

"Veeam has a verification action, which is good."

"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."

"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."

"The upgrade process of the solution needs to be improved since it is extremely complicated, especially without the benefit of a support person who can guide one through it."

"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."

"The technical support services could be better."

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a high price and ten is a low price, I rate the pricing a nine."

"The product's price is high."

"The price of Veritas NetBackup Appliance is competitive. There are different models of Veritas NetBackup Appliance, such as perpetual licenses and subscriptions. Having the choice is good."

"Overall, Veritas is a good solution; the problem is the cost."

"The solution is not cheap"

"The licensing costs are approximately 150,00 Saudi Riyals."

"There is a license required for this solution."
