We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"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 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'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 cloud side of it is nice. Everything happens behind the scenes without you realizing it, which is nice. It doesn't interrupt usage. There is also the freedom and ease of use of the cloud portal, which you can use to manage your backup. One of the strong points of Barracuda is that you can go from zero to having your first backup running within 10 minutes. If you have access to admin accounts and everything else, it can happen in 10 minutes. The ability to go in and just restore a particular file without having to do a full restore is also very useful. You can just go in and pick the files that you need to restore, and the same is with email. You can just go in, find an email, and restore that email without having to do a full backup of all the data or a full restore of the data. I feel very safe because it is not just about the backup; it is about the protection of the data from outside threats. They have a lot of areas of ATP, that is, advanced threat protection. You don't see that much on the backup side. You see it more on the email side. In the email protection, you know it is there at the back. It moves the quarantine emails that come through into a sandbox area, and then you can choose in the sandbox. You can open up an email in the sandbox to make sure that if there is a virus, it can't harm you. You can also plan how often your backups run, such as every six hours or four hours. It is the same with email. They also have a great PhishLine package, which is phishing attack training. You can have the strongest and the best backup and security that you can, but the end user is always the weakest link. They send almost like testing emails to end users to help them identify and understand phishing emails and prevent user or phishing attacks. It is a very good package."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"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."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"I would like to see the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
