Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup vs. CloudAlly by OpenText

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.

CloudAlly is a great backup for Salesforce and Box that is cloud based for a reasonable monthly/annual cost. Thankfully, we have rarely had to use our backups, but the service has been very reliable. It is less appropriate if you are not storing a lot in any of the platforms that they backup

we are pleased about the product. And why change a working software?

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

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

Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup integrates well with our Barracuda Backups, email protection, and impersonation protection products with a simple portal to interface with all products.

We chose CloudAlly because it had both Box and Salesforce as backup options so we were able to only setup one service, rather than two. The price point is also much better than OwnBackup, which was our second option. I like Skyvia for importing data, but their interface is not as easy to use.

They are very responsive and technical savvy.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Extra layer of protection on our data
• Ability to retrieve past data if an issue occurs
