Cons
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based.""The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler.""Compared to Avamar and Data Domain (our other systems), the backup speed is slow.""The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does.""I would like to see a way to increase space.""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.""Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward.""The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."

More Barracuda Intronis Backup Cons →

"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement.""I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups.""The compression ratio and application ratio could still be improved in this solution. Reporting could also be improved, for better monitoring.""It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved.""If you are doing an AIX backup then you have to use the CLI because it doesn't appear on the console, the way that Windows and Linux jobs do.""The solution lacks instant recovery.""If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better.""They should improve the solution's automation features."
