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.

Backup has protected our organization-wide email data and supports fast malicious deletion recovery

Some of the best features that Druva Data Security Cloud offers are endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery. Out of endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery, I find the infinitely scalable feature to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work, as it does not have any maintenance windows, which is different in terms of data protection. When it comes to features, I appreciate that Druva Data Security Cloud boasts less complexity found in solutions that are not built for the cloud while remaining secure, scalable, and always available, without requiring a maintenance window. Druva maintains the data protection solution, not the customer, and the platform is always up to date with the latest features, which makes it very scalable, as new capacity can be added to subscription on the fly without changes to the backup setting and without needing to purchase and install new appliances or software. The impact of Druva Data Security Cloud on my organization is significant, as it ensures users' data is backed up with snapshots and is very secure on the cloud. I benefit from prompt and clear assistance from Druva support, and the ease of access into the web portal provides a view into a snapshot without having to restore it first. Specific outcomes I have seen with Druva Data Security Cloud include peace of mind knowing our users' Office 365 data is backed up and very secure, along with improved security, additional protection against accidental deletion of mailbox items, and a means for remedial action after a malicious incident that deletes or encrypts users' data.

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 is the Live Boot solution, a feature on the Barracuda that is very helpful for critical service because whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions."

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

"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."

"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."

"Trust Barracuda, at least give them a try, because unfortunately, they're not very known."

"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Druva Data Security Cloud is a great platform that helps to simplify backup management across Microsoft 365, endpoints, and AWS, with very easy deployment that enhances compliance and legal hold, enables end-users to help themselves, reduces administrative workload, and saves time."

"Using Druva Data Security Cloud, we have significantly reduced the recovery time from hours to minutes, improving overall operational efficiency."

"Overall, it made my backup and recovery process faster, more reliable, and much easier to manage."

"The centralized management console in this solution and AI-driven analytics are good features."

"From my perspective, Druva Data Security Cloud is a mature product that uses AWS backup as a backend solution and is available on AWS Cloud."

"The most valuable feature of Druva is that it can detect changes in files or laptops and perform incremental backups."

"Specific outcomes or metrics highlighting positive impacts on my organization include significant cost savings, as the company reduced IT and backup costs by eliminating hardware and maintenance, resulting in over $800,000 in savings over three years after switching to Druva because everything runs in the cloud without the need for expensive infrastructure."

"Over the past five years, I haven't experienced any issues or problems with Druva."

Cons

"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."

"One part of the product that I think needs the most improvement is the recovery feature. It is not as fast as it should be."

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

"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."

"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."

"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."

"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."

"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"When considering how Druva Data Security Cloud could be improved, I would suggest several enhancements."

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."

"I believe Druva Data Security Cloud could be improved as the user interface could be a little more clear, the SSO setup was a little confusing, and the ticket creation procedure could be simpler."

"Druva Data Security Cloud can improve in some areas, including high cost and pricing models, as many users report that the platform is expensive, especially for large data storage."

"I would rate Druva Data Security Cloud an eight on a scale from one to ten because there are better solutions available in the market in terms of security that give a better stack."

"Druva Data Security Cloud is a very strong SaaS-based backup and recovery platform, but based on real-world experiences, there are a few areas where it could be improved. One area is performance during very large-scale initial backups or restores."

"They can improve their product quality for Salesforce as they don't have the capability to run that business without Technobind."

"I suggest improvements in the time it takes to restore data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."

"It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."

"The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."

"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."

"What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
