Pros
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do.""The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product.""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.""The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore.""Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use.""Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file.""The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."

Cons
"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.""I would like to see a way to increase space.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.""The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler.""The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based.""Barracuda Backup could use some more integration.""I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup Cons →

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

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."
  • More Barracuda Intronis Backup Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
