We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Unitrends 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 valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"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."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"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 scalability of the product is fine."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"They have great support."
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"I am working in some of the more rural areas of Sweden, and some of the customers here are a little bit wary of cloud technology at the moment. It is not like in Gothenburg or Stockholm, where people rely on it so much more. In the rural areas, companies are saying that we do need to use the cloud, and they are being very wary about their data, especially with GDPR and all that kind of stuff. Having more control and having an option for backing up locally, even if you don't want to use it, would be something very good. The cloud backup is brilliant, but there should be an option to take that cloud backup and save it locally as well. If you lose connection to the internet or you lose access to your data in the cloud, having a backup copy of the latest data on your server is helpful. You need to be able to get access to your customers' files, especially with GDPR, where you need to know where your customers' details are. If they're in the cloud and you've lost access to them, then you'll go into those GDPR regulations. This is somewhere where both Barracuda and Veeam haven't gone as far. As far as I have understood, with Veeam, you can back up your local servers to the cloud but not vice versa. I haven't worked on it much."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"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."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
