Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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. The turnaround is pretty quick.""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 backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it.""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.""It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution.""The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good.""Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable.""The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."

"The initial setup is very easy. It's incredibly fast.""Dell EMC NetWorker is scalable.""The updated graphical interface is better than it used to be.""The support for legacy products is very good.""Dell NetWorker's valuable feature is its ability to configure the network for immutability, specifically for backups.""The response time of the tech support is swift. The support is fantastic.""Simple, stable and straightforward.""The standout feature of Dell NetWorker is its expertise in handling our VMware environment."

Cons
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based.""The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint.""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.""I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud.""This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale.""Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.""The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup Cons →

"The user interface has to be improved""NetWorker sometimes has issues with the backup not starting and with connecting to the Oracle servers.""Could have a better recovery system.""It is a little buggy at times, which is the only thing that I dislike about this product.""It could be more user-friendly.""The UI needs some enhancement to be more user-friendly.""I would like to see the user interface improved, more documentation, faster support, and it could be easier to configure.""The front end of the solution could improve. The user-friendliness is lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It allows us a low cost backup solution for hardware-based, VMware, and Hyper-V systems all from a single platform."
  • "Low, fixed cost with great savings."
  • "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."
  • "All the storage is included in Barracuda, so you're just paying for the package. I think with Veeam, you pay for the package, and you pay for the storage."

  • "If you purchase Avamar, NetWorker is free with Avamar, for one terabyte license capacity."
  • "It is excellent from the pricing point of view. It is free with Data Protection Suite. Similarly, when you purchase Avamar, Dell EMC NetWorker is free with one terabyte license capacity. Its price is very competitive."
  • "The price is a little on the high side, but it's reliable and provides a good service."
  • "It is not very expensive and not very cheap."
