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.

Central console has simplified multi-region deployments and now supports quick customer insights

Druva Data Security Cloud is used with AWS cloud and is public only, with AWS serving as the backend infrastructure. The customer never receives billing for AWS, as the customer receives billing from Druva only.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. This product is mature, and we do not need to hesitate about it, as it has wider acceptance in the market. AI-driven analytics in Druva Data Security Cloud help to optimize data security by providing correct suggestions and prioritizing action. Given the amount of data security products available and the sprawl of information and tickets that get raised with various concerns that come up, AI is definitely necessary to drill down.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."

"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."

"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"The product is easy to use."

"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."

"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."

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

"The scalability of the product is fine."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

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

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

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

Cons

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

"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."

"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."

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

"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. Even from a troubleshooting perspective, it is a bit challenging."

"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

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

"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."

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"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."

"It is about 6,900 or 7,000 a year. It goes up a little every year. Its price includes live updates, support, antivirus, and cloud storage. If I increase the cloud space, then the price would increase. It has been consistent for us."

"You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."
