Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
It is not primarily about cost optimization, but more about protecting our organization against ransomware attacks to avoid being brought to its knees.

Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The IVR system should be reduced so that customers can reach support directly, as when someone calls, it is typically for a critical technical issue and the call should connect directly to a representative.

With the enterprise support model for Veritas Alta Data Protection, the technical support is at a level of nine.

Restores are search-based, and sometimes this is challenging as users, for example, do not remember what a file name or lost file is or when it was lost.
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup gives totally unlimited all parameters for OneDrive, SharePoint, email, and Teams.
Regional Pre Sales Engineer at Roundrobin Tech

Setup Cost

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is a cost-effective solution with competitive pricing and valuable features for Microsoft 365 users.
Veritas Alta Data Protection offers competitive pricing with potential discounts, though regional distributor margins might affect final costs.
Barracuda stood out because its straightforward administration, strong Microsoft 365 coverage, and granular recovery features aligned well with our requirements.
Technical Team Lead - Content Security at Valuepoint Systems
It is around £5 per user, which could be pricey for big companies.
Microsoft 365 Konsult at Canmer Data AB
I chose 8 out of 10 because it cost-effectively backs up the entire M365 environment and retains backups indefinitely.
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
Since we have been using Veritas Alta Data Protection for the last four years, the price is very friendly.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
Customers do not receive the real pricing advantage because the distributor keeps a margin, and the vendor also keeps a margin.
Manager, Network Ict at Associated Motorways (Private) Limited
Regarding the pricing aspect, we received a pretty good discount when we started onboarding all of our backups to Veritas Alta Data Protection.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
 

Valuable Features

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup offers comprehensive data protection with Microsoft 365 integration, ransomware defense, and efficient restoration features.
Veritas Alta Data Protection provides robust ransomware protection, cloud integration, automated operations, and cost-effective, secure data management and recovery.
Restoration allows me to recover a single file or a whole library or folder quickly, with the option to restore to either the original location or a new location.
Microsoft 365 Konsult at Canmer Data AB
It's now safer to move data to Microsoft 365 as we are now sure that the data is backed up, which frees up resources needed for an on-premises data center.
Senior Network Engineer at KDInfotech
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.
Full Stack Developer at BairesDev
We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases.
Storage Platform Engineer at Expedia Group
The unique selling proposition includes automated policy-driven operations.
Assistant General Manager System at Transasia Bio-Medicals Ltd.
Multi-factor authentication is enabled, ransomware protection is enabled, and all security checks have been put in place.

Ransomware attacks have been contained and healthcare data remains accessible 24x7
When I used Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup, I liked it. I really did. I cannot think of anything off the top of my head that says this needs to be improved. If we are going to compete with Commvault or Cohesity, some improvements could be made. However, overall, for what we used it for within the healthcare industry, I think it is fine, especially with the ransomware resilience. You have the isolated recovery environment and zero trust backup architecture. These things really are critical for industries in healthcare. Everything that I mentioned, Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is for SaaS, so it covers all the bases. It is easily installed within five minutes or so. The cost is simple—you do not have any servers, storage, infrastructure, or maintenance, and it is strictly being used for what it is. Its compliance is competitive. Overall, I would say the cost is simple, you have Entra ID backups, deployment is quick, there is no infrastructure, ransomware protection is there, granular restore, and you have Azure region storage control. Where there is a problem is it does not have enterprise-level backup or multi-cloud workloads. It is best used for small and maybe mid-sized businesses, and I would say within healthcare in particular. It is for cloud-first companies, and only if you have M365 protection for MSPs, which is what NTT Data was. It works within that framework. However, for large enterprises, you do not want to look at it. I would recommend Rubrik or Commvault instead.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.
