Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 scalability of the product is fine."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"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 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 performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"One of the most valuable features is the restore functionality that they offer."
"The ease of use and the GUI have really been most valuable to us. Configuring the system to do what we need is simple and straight forward and a lot of guesswork has been removed. One of my favorite features with Cohesity is Kroll for Exchange item-level recovery. The software is simple to use and fast."
"The most valuable aspect for me is that I don't have to deal with media in terms of tapes like our existing system does."
"It is also very easy to determine which VMs are being backed up and which ones aren't. This is helpful to make sure nothing is being missed."
"No longer does it take several hours to backup a VM or troubleshoot a backup issue."
"Cohesity's web-scale architecture enables us to scale up as needed."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"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."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"If someone were to change an admin account password, I would like an alert raised for that, which is not available at the moment."
"Their UI requires a manual refresh. It doesn't seem like it updates itself sometimes when you're moving from screens or waiting for a change to take effect, so you have to manually refresh."
"I would like to see Microsoft Exchange DAG supported as soon as possible."
"They could always keep up with continuous interface refinements."
"Since it is an evolving product, there are lot of frequent releases which require upgrades to be done every other weekend."
"Better support for legacy platforms would be nice, but we should be moving off those anyway."
"Physical RDMs on virtual machines could be a bit easier to configure and plan out."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
