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."The MARS agent makes it easy to use."
"It's stable."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"The solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"The deployment process is quite easy in Azure."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"You can select the tiering for your backup and manage your cost."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"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 most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"The product must improve on a database level."
"It doesn't have the option to have a backup from the database. It has backup for the files, folders, and backup only the whole virtual machine. But if I need to do a backup from the Oracle database, from an Exchange server or from SharePoint, this ability isn't there. There is no application backup."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"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 needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"It is not always stable."
"Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow."
