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.

CONRAD FORREST

President at MTS Consulting Group, Inc.

The solution provides the ability to backup all types of cloud drives, is inexpensive, and has decent support

MSP360 Backup provides the backup functionality, but we need to provide the storage component. We can use Azure, AWS, or another provider, but we need to choose the storage provider and create a bucket to store our data. The vendor is making changes to improve the functionality of the service and the separation of storage, but I would like to see more integration and a knowledge base of the tool. Currently trying to understand why the storage is separated and how to implement the storage properly is a challenge. Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service. Unlike other solutions such as Kohl which includes everything at one price. MSP360 Backup can be improved by adding inclusive pricing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is easy to use."

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

"They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."

"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."

"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."

"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"Block level transfers have significantly reduced the amount of time for transfers over some other solutions"

"The UI is pretty good. It's very simple. That is one thing that we like about this. It's very user-friendly."

"Provides connectivity to a lot of different cloud storage solutions."

"The most valuable feature for me is that I can see what has has been successfully backed up and what not. I do not mean the file or folder view, because that's problematic with GDPR, but I mean which machines have successfully backed up. It's very valuable because you don't have to check the machines. The second feature is that you can change backup settings in the portal."

"I was mainly concerned with cloud backups, OneDrive backups, consumer OneDrive, business OneDrive, Google backups, and SharePoint backups. The solution did a good job of the backup."

"The most valuable feature of MSP360 Backup is its reliability."

"Technical support is very good."

"The solution is easy to access and handles things efficiently."

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."

"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."

"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."

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

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"We could basically use just a more concise visual dashboard reporting on the status of the various machines."

"There are some things that we don't like about it. That is why I was exploring alternatives in a hyper-scale environment. That is why I was checking IT Central Station."

"The main improvement is that it should have GDPR compliance. That's the problematic point. They say they are GDPR compliant, but they are not."

"As for what can be improved, some reports could be simplified so that you know how much backup you have done and what your backup details are. That report is available but it is very tough to get. I would like to know "today I have just uploaded 35 MB, tomorrow I have loaded 10 MB so my trend of backup is increasing.""

"Using the solution incurs additional charges for the device storage and backup which are not included in the service."

"The Linux GUI leaves a lot to be desired. It lacks many of the features of the Windows version and is buggy, but it is still usable."

"The solution needs a better graphical user interface. It's a graphical user interface that is very old-school right now. They could give it a little more modern feel."

"The initial setup is a little complex as it has to be done in the office and requires someone to come in and install the solution on your server, then configure the scheduling, backup pushing, and so on."

More MSP360 Backup cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"It includes a standard licensing fee. Once a year, there is a rebranding fee. The licensing costs are available on the internet for MSP360 Backup. There is a discount structure where if you have over 50 devices, you get a 50% discount. So, my cost is $2 a license per month."

"Pricing is reasonable although can be quite a large upfront cost."

"The solution is expensive."

"MSP360 is vastly cheaper than its competitors and has almost all the same features."

"It provides a good cost savings compared to our previous cloud backup."

"The cost is pretty inexpensive. Around four to five dollars per device, per workstation on each server."

"We have a very good return on investment."

"I rate the price of MSP360 Backup a seven out of ten."
