Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs vs. LogPoint

If a backup solution is needed without purchasing an appliance, the Intronis solution does a great job of backing up data and replicating to the cloud. The backup is restricted by total data, so any databases and other items are covered as long as it's under the total data cap.

LogPoint is incredibly useful for pulling information from various log sources and combining them together to offer insights into suspicious or potentially malicious behaviour. It is not intuitive and can take some time to get used to. Once you're up and running though, it's easy to onboard new log sources. Search queries can again be tough to get used to, but LogPoint support is really helpful and can offer assistance with writing more complex searches.

• Centralized console for all Intronis backup software installations
• Linked connection to the Barracuda Cloud Control console to manage essentials and backup appliances
• Alerting from backup software can range from simple to complex as well as schedule options

Incentivized

• Technical support team is fast and competent
• License management and cost
• Log parsing
• New logs can be provided to the support team for parser creation
• High Availability architecture does not cost more

• the expanding of the roles that are allowed, just 4 seems to be too limiting
• integration of the campus should be self service not a email and wait for 24 hour turn around

Incentivized

• Providing a full Cloud solution
• Having more documentation for complex deployment

We are confident with the solution and we are using it daily

Overall, LogPoint is pretty easy to get started with but faces issues with specific things (syslog on custom ports, script log collection, etc.).

LogPoint support is outstanding. They are incredibly helpful, and on occasions have proactively identified issues with our setup, and logged cases on our behalf before we had even noticed there was a problem. If there is a search we need to write that is beyond our skills, LogPoint support can typically write it for us within a couple of days. They are always very responsive, and I am yet to have a bad support experience.

Really nice person with huge skills on LogPoint

The platform was a requirement to get access to the products, but it seemed a bit rushed and some of the feature are not consistent, like the cloud to cloud you need to create an admin for the tech to implement vs the creds passed over from ECHOplatform.

Incentivized

LogPoint is easier to implement and less expensive.

N/A

(Cannot skip without answer)

• This is a great solution for backups when a backup appliance is not necessary (or within economic range).
• Local NAS replication can provide faster recovery of data in the event of a catastrophy.

Incentivized

• Keep the same team to manage more IT resources
• Having a better logs visibility
