For its price the product is very cost effective. For our university it's important to be able to backup students as well as employees and other products tend to have at least limited cost to students. As there are so many students in our university the cost involved with other products would make them too costly. As the amount of data that is involved with M365 is so vast, it's also nice not to have extra cost involved for space used. The product is cloud based, so for some organizations that might be a problem.

It scales well from the individual to corporate environments with many different plans to suit your needs and budget. For backing up servers such as Exchange or SQL I've used their sister product iBackup, which is also excellent and we have no problems with, so maybe they should merge the two products into one which would make it a better overall proposition. It also seems to handle backing up mapped drives as well, which is what we used for a while before getting the on server version. That being said it can use up quite a bit of bandwidth so make sure you schedule at night when noone is working. However it does only backup changed files which is great.

  • I'm using it on MAC, the app works very well in the background
  • Logging activities is something I really like, because I can check whether the backup was successful or not.
  • I really like the option of being able to select external drivers and back up only specific folders or files.
  • The application itself is very easy to use, even though it doesn't have a version in my language (pt-br), I had no trouble setting it up and I'm using it without any problems.

Cons
Barracuda Networks Inc.
  • The final output when downloading is a bit bulky and hard to find things based on subject headers.
  • Wish there was a range to export out.
  • The UI is not as snappy as I would have expected.

  • DropBox-protected folders were not initially backed up as IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 did not follow the symbolic links created
  • I experienced some UX confusion in adding new folders to backup; it's a different interface than setting up exclusions, and they should follow the same workflow and page buttons
  • After a reboot, it appears like a full disk scan is performed which can take quite a long time on a disk which has many files and lots of space

It does everything that it needs to to create an effecitve Three level backup to the cloud of all your important data, its reliable, dependable and peformant in its use cases. It overcomes the need to store offsite physical media such as Tape or disk storage. And its cost and level of reporting can be tailored to fit the use case of your business.

Usability
Barracuda Networks Inc.
The product is very simple to use . That is a good thing and a bad thing as there could be some more advanced view or filtering options if you for example have to restore entire organization units data. There could also me more information from the whole organizations backup status

While both the desktop and mobile apps are pretty straightforward and not complicated to navigate with features and settings fairly easy to understand and execute with clear enough descriptions they could use a refresh to be a but more intuitive and improvements made so they are less glitchy. Also backup speeds could use some improvement

I have not had to use their tech support. I did call once but luckily figured out what to do while I was on hold so I disconnected. If I really needed them it would have been a very long hold time I suppose.

in a few clicks the backup was running. The first restore was exiting since we didn't know what to expect.

I was a Backblaze user for 5 years because they had a very cost effective plan for my storage needs. However, they were very poor at backing up external devices quickly, and made it a pain in the butt to keep the backups active due to their 30 days connectivity policy.
Dropbox is a great fit for cloud backup when you need to access the backup files in the cloud frequently.
IDrive is the best solution out there for true backup of devices in case they are damaged or lost.

Return on Investment
Barracuda Networks Inc.
  • Helps me worry a little less that in the worst case scenario, mailboxes & teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at the very least.
  • Whilst we weren't spending any money on backing up our Microsoft 365 data, I would say that it's worth every penny. Especially in a disaster recovery scenario.
  • It also proves useful in instances where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or file in their mailbox/team. It can easily restore what has been lost.

  • For individual users such as my case, the savings with the Personal plan are important compared to alternatives like ElephantDrive. For 5TB ElephantDrive costs $600/yr in the comparable Family plan, whereas IDrive Online Backup and Object Storage e2 costs only $99.50/yr.
