We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Barracuda Intronis Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The best thing about it is that we can back up pretty much everything we want to. We don't have to have multiple solutions. It can back up any physical or virtual server, including servers in Azure. It can back up SharePoint, OneDrive, and G Suite. Everything we need to back up can be backed up, and that's why we like it."
"Acronis Backup is easy to use."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"It is a very stable solution."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"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."
"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 speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"We would always support better pricing."
"I would like to have more cybersecurity integration to properly round up the product and its offering. In terms of cybersecurity, if the offerings can be more versatile so that it is not just a backup solution, it would be great. Some addition to cybersecurity would really be helpful so that it becomes a kind of a suite of products. Backup and recovery form a part of the broader security strategy. Its integration with other cybersecurity solutions would provide proper visibility to not just your cybersecurity dashboard but also to all of your backups. You would have a pretty good view of the entire security landscape that you are managing."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"Acronis Backup can improve the latency when the file size is larger, we have had issues. Additionally, they could allow more flexibility when searching for information and I cannot download the CBIS backup copy information which could be made easier."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"I wish Acronis had a feature that would allow me to set an expiry date for customers when I send them Acronis, such as when I create a customer workload or gigabyte."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"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."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
