Barracuda Disadvantages  Lacks flexible disaster recovery options  Customers are forced to subscribe to offsite service  Affordability is outside of SMB reach as amount of data grows  No Local Archiving or Appliance to Appliance data replication for customer who demand complete control of their data without the recurring cost of offsite service  TCO increases significantly over time.  No protection against platform disaster - leaving application and file server that keep business operational vulnerable to HW failure, SW reliability and disastrous events  Downtime can be significant when replacing and reconfiguring server machines  No native support for database application  Rely on 3 rd Party SW adds complexity and cost to SMB  Protection only as good as the frequency of the backup done

Barracuda Disadvantages  No desktop/laptop backup for local or remote sites  Majority of new “hot off the press” critical data resides on user machines which are unlikely backed up to network file servers  Unprotected end-user machine remains exposed and vulnerable to data loss  Lacks user policy  Individual user set-up and configuration can be time intensive to enable individual user self-restore  Heavily taxing IT and MSP resources on initial set-up  Not scaleable in larger environments – imagine setting 100 individual users one at a time for access to their own data
