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 backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"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 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 superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"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."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is the backups."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"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."
"I would like to see a way to increase space."
"It is not always stable."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."
"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."
