We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution.""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.""I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable.""The configuration and the onboarding process are pretty good.""Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable.""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.""Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."

"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment.""The interface of this solution is quite good.""The most valuable feature is the ability to navigate inside a backup point to look for a specific folder or data you want to recover.""The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts.""The initial setup, if it is error-free, is very simple.""If you have windows machine at home and you'd like a backup, you can always download their free edition and plug in an external hard disk, and do a full backup of your laptop.""It's powerful and user-friendly.""Technical support is good."

Cons
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does.""When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud.""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.""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.""Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue.""The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup Cons →

"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer.""A feature I would like to see is universal restore. At the moment, restoration can only be smooth on the same hardware. Let's say you have a server and you back it up with Veeam Agent, in case it fails or crashes. If you later buy a new server because the same one isn't available on the market anymore, there's a high chance that Windows will not boot up if you restore from the Veeam backup because the hardware is now different. Acronis has the universal restore feature, so it will work with generic drivers and you can restore Windows in any dissimilar hardware. As far as I know, Veeam doesn't have this feature yet.""It fulfills our needs in terms of features. In terms of improvements, they can maybe improve its documentation.""I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup.""There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure.""We need some sort of security for backups and archives.""It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved.""The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."

  • "The licensing is charged yearly. It's my understanding that the cost of the solution is somewhere around $7,000 every two years."
