Plenty of useful feature and reliable
We use Asigra for backups I have found all the features useful in the solution. I have been using Asigra for approximately two months. The solution is stable. The six people in our IT department are using the solution. The initial setup was a medium difficulty level. Some parts were complex…

Rating shows fast restoration and reliable support with scope for improved integration and database backup options
The product needs improvement to become better. For example, we attempted to integrate with Postgres SQL server to backup the database alone, which was not supported. For this reason, we required a separate solution for database backups. While other SQL servers are supported, Barracuda Backup has limitations with database backups. The main area for improvement is integration and support for databases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"Recovering the system and system files in disaster cases."
"The solution’s scalability is good because its space is unlimited. We can start in Office365 with one terabyte bit of information and leverage through an enterprise solution of 1000 users."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it's on the cloud, so there is no need for hardware."
"Barracuda email security works effectively with O365, and we have been able to achieve many use cases that other competitive products such as Micro, Fortinet, Trellix, or Forcepoint could not accomplish."
"One valuable feature of Barracuda Backup is that it can be used as thin VMware storage."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"Barracuda Backup is cost-effective because there is no licensing cost per server or VM."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Barracuda Backup's user interface needs to be renewed as it appears outdated."
"In using Barracuda Backup, sometimes the VM has issues and becomes non-functional, requiring support tickets to resolve."
"An improvement is required in reports and backups for sharing on Linux and Unix."
"Snapshot for different kinds of virtual/physical server could be improved with new implementation functionality and related tools."
"It would be nice if a user could delete something and then recover it themselves. That would be a nice feature."
"Barracuda Backup's support could be improved because sometimes the support team is situated outside the country, leading to time zone issues."
"The product needs improvement to become better. For example, we attempted to integrate with Postgres SQL server to backup the database alone, which was not supported."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
