Considered Both Products	Azure StorSimple Scott Lerner Director of IT Chose Azure StorSimple Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment. Incentivized Helpful?	Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs DJ dave jung internal it Chose Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs 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 Helpful? DS Derek Schroeder Service Manager Chose Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs Carbonite is a very good product but Intronis is much better suited for businesses. Acronis is a very comparable product especially as it does such a good job of image level backups of machines. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Azure StorSimple	Barracuda ECHOplatform for MSPs
Likelihood to Recommend	Onsite storage needs and backing up to Azure. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	At the current state, still recommend but would give them a warning of the hardships and quirky nature of the platform. Incentivized DJ dave jung internal it Read full review
Pros	Performance via the SSD drives. Writes back to our Private Cloud via Azure. Easy to Admin via Web client interface. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	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 Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
Cons	Additional fail-over functionality Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	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 DJ dave jung internal it Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	If I wanted to use just onsite storage the StorSimple device is already paid for. Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Easy to use and highly compatible with our MSFT Hyper-V environment Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	Carbonite is a very good product but Intronis is much better suited for businesses.

Return on Investment	Great Folks on the MSFT Implementation team Great value on year 2 Incentivized Scott Lerner Director of IT Read full review	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 Derek Schroeder Service Manager Read full review
