Overall Satisfaction with Barracuda Backup

We currently use Barracuda Backup to backup our physical servers and Office 365 environment. Barracuda Backup's cloud to cloud backup has been an almost setup and forget solution for us. Now it also includes Entra ID, it is providing us an all round backup solution for our Office365 environment. We have deployed to also backup our physical onsite servers with as much ease as the cloud setup

Pros

  • Easy setup for cloud to cloud
  • Clear visibility of backup success/issues
  • Simple "restore everything"

Cons

  • Could do with a better single item restore - particularly in the cloud to cloud backup
  • Browsing backups can be slow
  • File level restore for Hyper V
  • Ability to add cloud storage within a tight budget - was around 30% cheaper than competitors
  • Inclusion of Entra ID backup without a subscription increase
  • Reduced downtime from human error by around 60% compared to a previous backup solution
Dashboards and interfaces within Barracuda Backup are very easy to navigate, with clear success/warnings shown. Setting up backup jobs is probably one of the most simplest tasks - compared to competitors we trialed. Trouble shooting backup issues is also simple due to clear errors (VSS errors shown in a understandable format for example)

Barracuda Backup is far more simple and easy to manage, we selected this over competitors because it gave a simple set and forget backup for cloud to cloud with unlimited retention. It also gave a very simple to use interface for monitoring backups of required. Pricing and licensing model was also very competitive

Do you think Barracuda Backup delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Barracuda Backup's feature set?

Yes

Did Barracuda Backup live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Barracuda Backup go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Barracuda Backup again?

Yes

Very well suited for full Office 365 environment's, Barracuda Backup has saved us a few headaches with its simple mailbox restore overtime. Also has saved us when SharePoint sites have been accidentally deleted with a very simple one click restore, this was also completed in a very timely manner

We have not used Barracuda Backup for our Hyper V estate as compared to other products it is lacking some restore ability - namely we had issues with single file restores to our file server
