"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions.""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 superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product.""The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good.""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.

Cons
"I can't select a network location. I have to map a drive on the server, and then I have to select the mapped drive in order for it to put the backup out there.""Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side.""The initial setup was complex. We had to deploy it through an external consultant team.""The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures.""The new version has anti-malware and software management features, but these features should be enhanced. It is working as an exclusive solution along with the backup and recovery.""The technical support of Acronis Backup could improve. They have the depth of knowledge but the speed of the response could be quicker.""The solution could use a single sign-on integration that can default to the admin dashboard. Right now, it's only username and password. If you had had an additional two-factor authentication, this would be beneficial for me.""The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."

More Acronis Cyber Protect Cons →

"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.""I would like to see better integration with third-party applications.""It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential.""The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does.""I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines.""This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale.""We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."

  • "It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."

  • "You don't need to buy an extra license or agent. With one box, you have licenses for any amount of devices that you want to backed up for whatever is backed up."
  • "You have two options, which we have. We pay for it bi-monthly. Then, you can purchase the project hours and support annually."
  • "What I like best about Barracuda Backup is the licensing model."
  • "The price of the five-year contract was approximately three million Rupees ($42,000 USD)."
  • "The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
