We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Barracuda Intronis Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Acronis Backup is the data recovery and restoration details."
"For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"In terms of system-critical support, Acronis' technical support does really well. I would give them an eight out of ten for that."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"Acronis has a very rich functionality."
"Easy, immediate protection for data that is virtually infinitely scalable."
"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."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"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 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."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"Of all the backup products we have used, this by far is the simplest to install and use."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"When you are using enterprise hardware and software that increases over time, there need to be better and more management features. For pure backup software, it is fine, but when it comes to managing a large infrastructure it is lacking."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"In the span of six months, maintenance is done at least twice and you are told that it is coming up, with apologies for the inconvenience. It's a distraction, and it interferes with the backup schedule."
"Acronis has some limitations on the cloud side."
"Acronis Backup can improve on the virtualization backups because they are not as good as Veeam Backup."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"In some cases, at the time of reinstallation, some disasters happen. For the licensing on the computer the name of the computer and domain, everything is removed from the registry level. Then we have to install the Acronis from the start for it to work properly. Otherwise, the Acronis software will cause a lot of trouble at the time of reinstallation. That's where they need to improve the product. In the case people want to install the same software with the same hardware, it should not stop me."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The solution needs fine-grained backup capabilities to service individual users. But this is a minor issue considering all that the product does."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"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."
