Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users
The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

Adopting advanced convergence and seamless management elevates data protections
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices. Customers looking for features that older systems provided might find gaps, but these are typically for very specific needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"Overall, I am a very satisfied user of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect are SpanFS and the handling of hybrid workloads."
"Instant volume mount and the SpanFS filesystem itself, which has great dedupe and compression across all of our backups."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"It works well with backup virtual machines and SQL services we have been using."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"Cohesity has simplified backups and has cut our costs tremendously."
"We like that we can use production data to run intensive reports that would otherwise bog down the production server."
 

Cons

"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"A little more documentation on standard faults would help, as new features are being released quite often."
"What areas have room for improvement? Is there anything that could be simplified to make it better?"
"I would like to see the management of multiple nodes inside a tenant. If you want to manage a Cohesity environment, you either go on a per-node base, and you can hop from one node to the other, or you need to implement their SaaS capability but it always needs an internet connection. We would really like to have some kind of local management entity so that we can see all the Cohesity nodes in a customer environment and manage those nodes centrally. That's something that we would really like, and they are really working on it."
"The support team could do a better job. Sometimes finding the correct person is cumbersome and time consuming."
"In terms of the product itself, there have been a handful of patches that have had to be applied outside of the GUI via the command line. It's very straightforward and easy and in the same redundant fashion, but not quite as simple as one or two clicks. I'm hoping that will decrease going forward."
"Cohesity DataProtect can improve in the area of databases. We have had some challenges with both Cohesity and Rubrik being able to effectively back up in a timely manner the SQL Oracle workloads."
"When a new release is launched, there may be some bugs that need to be addressed by the developers. However, they promptly resolve these issues, and the software runs smoothly once again."
"I'd like to be able to pause a backup while it's running and have it resume when I tell it to resume."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"From my last assessment, the pricing for Cohesity DataProtect was reasonable. Compared to its closest competitor, Rubrik, I found Rubrik's pricing to be somewhat high-end. While Rubrik may have more advanced security features than Cohesity DataProtect currently, Cohesity DataProtect is releasing a new solution in the near future that will compete directly with Rubrik."
"With respect to pricing, make sure that you look at both Rubrik and Cohesity as they are very similar and are quite competitive."
"Cohesity came in at the best price."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"I expect the system to probably pay off within the first two years."
"Ensure that you understand the per TB licensing model. Also, Exchange backups are not native to Cohesity and require Kroll."
"The solution's pricing is quite high, more so than that of its competitors, Veeam, Veritas and Rubrik."
"The tool's pricing is average."
