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."They are the best support that we have had so far. When you contact or email them, they are very quick to respond. They always have someone available for us. That's what we want as a customer, we want someone to listen to us."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"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 valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution is very scalable."
"The tool's performance is very good. DD Boost can improve its performance and backup."
"Its pricing is not overly expensive."
"This solution has a feature called Domain Boost, which allows for source deduplication and compression."
"It works within backup windows and has got good deduplication."
"We have found the product to be scalable."
"We are very satisfied with this solution. It's easy to use and efficient."
"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."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"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 the automatic backup of critical applications to the cloud."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"It can probably have integration with other OEMs. It should also have more features for ransomware protection."
"The pricing should be adjusted. Customers continuously talk about the price. They know it is a good solution and they really need the type of storage the solution offers, but it costs somewhere around $100,000 and up. It's not cheap, but it's very important for data vendors."
"The tool's pricing could be cheaper."
"They need to make migration easier."
"They still have hardware different from the software."
"We encountered data loss during the configuration process."
