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."The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"The solution helped us use R2 RBO to back up frequently."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"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."
"The backup features are very useful."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"The product is very reliable and easy to use."
"The fact that Azure Backup is integrated is one of its biggest advantages."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"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."
"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."
"Azure Backup could improve the backup data copies because they are not immutable."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
"I would like to see better integration with more products, and more services."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"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."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"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."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"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."
