We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Veritas NetBackup Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"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 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 cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"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."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"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."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"The initial setup gets easier the more you do it."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"It is not always stable."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
