ICT manager at Oosterhof Holman

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.

Oracle Technology Manager at MOPCO

Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features

The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.

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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

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

More Barracuda Intronis Backup pros

"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."

"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."

"The solution offers high-secured appliances and supports enterprise-class encryption algorithms."

"It is very capable of scaling and very good for heterogeneous environments."

"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."

Cons

"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup cons

"Our main challenge was deciding on the right capacity for expansion, but once we settled on two NAS servers with sixteen TB, things have been smooth."

"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."

"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."

"The price could be a bit better."

"Improving the interface could enhance user experience."

"Veeam has a verification action, which is good."

"NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower."

"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"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."

"They're on par with their competitors."

"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."

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

"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."

"The licensing costs are approximately 150,00 Saudi Riyals."

"The price of this solution is very high compared to other solutions."

"The licensing costs for this solution are very high."

"I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"The solution is not cheap"
