We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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 ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"It's simple to set up."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"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 most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"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."
"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."
"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 scalability of the product is fine."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"It is not always stable."
"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."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"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."
