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

"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."

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

"With Barracuda backup solutions, we have a complete and all-round data protection in place."

"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."

"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."

"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."

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

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The best feature is that it's very user-friendly to do scheduled backups and version maintenance."

"One massive advantage of this solution, as compared to more enterprise products, is that no firewall changes are needed on the client's premises. For the product to back up from the client's premise to the cloud, it just needs port 8 and port 443, which are anyway always open. This was one of the things that made us decide to go with the product. It is very difficult to justify a firewall change for a small client who doesn't even know what a firewall is and how to maintain a firewall, or doesn't have anybody maintaining their firewall. You then have to maintain the firewall. MSP360 Backup takes away firewall change requirements, VPNs, or channels that are needed for the backup."

"I would recommend the solution; it's a very trustworthy solution."

"The solution is appliance-free, the initial setup is very straightforward, the scalability and stability have never been a problem for us, technical support is very good, and we have found the price point to be quite good."

"The solution is simple to use and easy to configure."

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

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

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

More MSP360 Backup pros

Cons

"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."

"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

"I would like to see a way to increase space."

"It is not always stable."

"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."

"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue."

"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."

"The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"The interface could use some updating."

"The graphics are looking a bit old and should be updated."

"The solution's pricing is very high."

"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."

"If I have an incident and I need to restore something very fast, I want to restore a particular virtual machine, maybe in an hour and that is not possible to do with MSP360."

"Maybe implement an easier interface for basic users. For example, a set-up wizard with all the commonly used features as default."

"The restore time could improve. When we had an issue the restore time was lengthy."

"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.""

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"Normally, there is the hardware on the site. So, essentially, there is a server and storage. They can price it a little lower because the customers are making a little investment upfront. Even though it is trouble-free for the end-users, and once it is set up and running, they don't have to really think about it, there is essentially an initial investment. It is not really pricey. We're actually competitive, but we are in a different market. In Asia, customers are a little more price-sensitive than in the west. It is not really a real issue."

"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."

"All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."

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

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"We have a very good return on investment."

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

"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."

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

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

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

"The solution is expensive."

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