    Chose Barracuda Backup
    Overall not impressed with Barracuda backup and we decided to move away from it. I wasn't involved in the selection but the organization has had it for years when the market was very different.

    Chose Barracuda Backup
    Barracuda Backup offers a full cloud to cloud offering and when we were implementing and building, Veeam did not have a full cloud to cloud offering, but rather a cloud to on prem, which we were concerned with the bandwidth usage and additional need to monitor as well as …

    Chose Barracuda Backup
    Barracuda's price point, and it didn't require additional servers and/or storage.

    Chose Barracuda Backup
    Barracuda does very well for data that needs to be sent offsite. That's our main use for it. It's reliable and easy to configure, though it is storage-limited. What you buy in the appliance is what you get, period. We brought in CrashPlan to be able to utilize our own storage …

    Chose Barracuda Backup
    Back when I was vetting this solution, I tested Zenith and Unitrends. Both were more complicated and expensive - especially considering the amount of end points that I needed to backup.

    Veeam Software
    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is the best of software-only solutions. Carbonite and Mozy may have more economical pricing but require constant monitoring and maintenance to work well. Veeam is extremely reliable and easy to use. Barracuda Backup and Unitrends are primarily BDR appliances, while Unitren…

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    It performs marginally better, but at a much much lower cost than Barracuda Backup.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is much more robust and easy to manage than the competitors that we used in the past. I never got the same feeling of confidence with those backups that I have now with Veeam. The pricing was also similar or better, and less complicated since there is just one type of …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    I prefer Veeams compatibility and featureset. I find the interface more intiutive.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    We utilize both Cisco (networking environment) and Barracuda (email security) for our organization. While they are great for the purposes we have them for, they could not provide the same level of cloud backup that Veeam Data Platform provides for Azure at the comparable cost …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Barracuda is limited in its functions and does not have quick restore options.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is more feature-rich, flexible, and scalable to growth.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam Data Platform is more user friendly and has more options for backups and restores than Barracuda in my experience.
    Incentivized
    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is a more enterprise feature rich platform. It offers further flexibility and additional features such as virtual labs to test backups in an isolated protected method. Veeam has also been more reliable when it comes to backup and recovery speeds and has built in …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Unlike many of the vendors above, Veeam is providing a solution that scales from one workload to hundreds and fits comprehensively in any of the spaces between without compromising the core functionality and feature set that makes it such a great product. Veeam are confident in …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Our clients that use Veeam were using it before they were our clients, but we renew when appropriate. Veeam is a solid product, but I believe Barracuda is better all around. Lower cost, VMWARE, Hyper-V and physical server backups. Also, Barracuda offers cloud replication at …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    I chose Veeam because I felt they were a leader in this new modern backup strategy. They also make it very easy and straightforward. Sometimes things don't need to be complex in order to be powerful. Since implementing, we have never experienced any real trouble with the …
