What is Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs?

The Barracuda ECHOplatform (formerly from Intronis) is an interface designed to simplify a data protection strategy by putting everything MSPs need to protect their SMBs in one place, and offering it all for a flat fixed rate. Barracuda acquired Intronis in 2015.

Categories & Use Cases

ECHO, is more like take two

Pros

  • user creates

Cons

  • 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

Most Important Features

  • user create
  • account create

Return on Investment

  • updating the licenses is time consuming where one needs to submit a ticket
  • the changing of the cloud to cloud version was not a smooth change, going from v1 to v2 was a huge issue

Other Software Used

Auvik, Adobe Sign, ConnectWise Manage

Intronis ECHOplatform for managing all of your backup software, backup appliance, and Essentials installations

Pros

  • 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

Cons

  • Purchasing and activating Barracuda Backup appliances via Intronis complicates the process as appliances use the Barracuda Cloud Console for management.
  • Intronis Backup software could use some improvement on reliability as it requires massaging more often than the Barracuda Backup appliances.

Return on Investment

  • 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.
