We performed a comparison between Azure Backup and Barracuda Intronis Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"It's stable."
"The scalability has been good."
"With Azure Backup, you can readily make your environment if your setup somehow fails on the cloud or on-premises."
"The product is cost-effective compared to other vendors."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"Azure Backup is very simple to use and user-friendly."
"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."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"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."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"The compression ratio of the backup data should be improved."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"The support for Office365 backup is atrocious and is something that has to be improved."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
