Find out what your peers are saying about Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, NetApp and others in Deduplication Software."The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"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."
"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."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
"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."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"Stability."
