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."The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"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 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."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"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."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is the duplication encryption standard feature."
"We rarely need their help. I would give their technical support an 8.5 out of ten. We are satisfied."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"There are a lot of new features that operate to protect the data from ransomware attacks. They launched the Veritas/Appliances to protect our data. Veritas has been doing its job well."
"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."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"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."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"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."
"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."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it."
"The solution could improve by providing more integration and security."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"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 technical support services could be better."
