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 operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection

Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"For me, the most important feature is alerting."

"The initial setup is not complex or too complicated; it's very easy and quite straightforward, and a company shouldn't have any issues with the process."

"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."

"It is a good solution for backups and reporting."

"Very good product for a mid-range company."

"The solution is carefully designed to be easy to use - even if you're in a panic."

"The VMR is the solution's most valuable aspect."

"Technical support from Veeam is great; if you have an issue, they can help you really fast, they know what to do, they ask the right questions to get deep into the problem if you have something complex or difficult, and they'll help you install a patch so that everything is fine."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"I think scalability is the big gap."

"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."

"They keep you waiting and then they don't come up with a real solution."

"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."

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

"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"I would like to see more drill-down and granular coverage of the compute stack and virtual infrastructure elements for Hyper-V."

"The solution needs to have the capacity to address more legacy workloads. For example, things like integration with tapes."

"I would not recommend Veeam Backup Replication for Oracle Database and I would recommend it only if you have a small budget."

"They need to support more platforms."

"Veeam Data Platform could benefit from a simpler UI, deeper cloud-native features, more advanced analytics, and enhanced automation for larger-scale recovery."

"Limited support for environments other than VMware or Microsoft."

"It would be nice if the solution scanned for malware in the backups."

"The orchestration feature can be improved. They can improve the virtual machine orchestration to make it similar to VMware. They can also provide an option to automate the backup and recovery and schedule a backup."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

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

"The tool's pricing is reasonable."

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

"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."

"Low, fixed cost with great savings."

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pricing and cost advice

"Veeam is more reasonably priced than some competing products."

"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."

"The licenses are code-based or server-based for Veeam ONE. The last version is 12, and it is host-based, I don't like to move to a code-based solution."

"If you have Veeam Backup and Replication with the essential license then this solution is free. If you were to purchase Veeam ONE by itself it is priced cheaper than competitors."

"Our licensing cost is $200 a year."

"We spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Veeam each year, although it is not expensive for what we get."

"Veeam's pricing is good. But compared to the past five years, it's constantly increasing."

"The cost should be adressed."
