The tooling is very good. Bacula enterprise is very easy to ingrate with other systems, we managed to integrate with Active Diretory and SQL Server with no friction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web interface (Bweb) could be more polished. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After the initial configuration, it was thoroughly hands-off until everything was upgraded for the newer release. It did its job and was easy to audit and restore files.

Support is top notch - any time we have an issue we can generally get them resolved within a day of the first reply on the ticket.

Tons of supported operating systems for installation - this allows us more flexibility with the workloads that we run and back up in our infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the tape drives was a bit of a headache, as well as making the storage pool determinations - however Bacula support was there every step of the way to help bring expertise to the discussion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bacula Enterprise offers much more functionality, in addition to a centralized management platform. For large corporations that have more than one virtualization host, it is essential to have a robust tool that has no limitations. Thus, it brings all the functionalities and its use is not impossible in any situation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to complain about this solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility, it can backup almost anything you throw at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime can be very complex to configure when used a bit differently than the default installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The deduplication engine included is really powerful and easy to work with! It's inline, no need to wait for the deduplication to "compress" your data. It's really integrated, that you can copy data from bacula's storage servers (storage daemon) very quickly... because it can take advantage on the deduplicated data that are already present on the destination node.

- The many possibilities that we have regarding configuration options.

For example: Let say you want to skip particular filesystems? Just exclude the filesystems based on an OS script.

- The support team Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The web interface is just "ok". When you are used to, it do the work. But it's not as user friendly as competitive product i had the opportunity to work with.

- It's ok to configure backup. But if you want something very specific, you'll have to read the whitepapers and edit manually the configuration files. It will be easier and quicker.

- it's lacks some reporting features i like to see (what are the client with the worst dedup ratio? i lack a report card, showing in a structured way all my backup jobs and the status of the last run). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bacula is really awesome. It's relatively quick to backup things and I like the backups based on jobs. The compression is okayish. I like the storing as binary and choosing the volumes also it's nice that you guys made a small php dashboard for it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well the fact that it doesnt have an API is problematic. So I had to develop my own api to use bacula. The learning curve is quite high. I spent like 3 weeks full time to understand it well but once you master it it's really cool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the configurability. You can pretty much make Bacula do anything you would like. I also like that the configuration is stored as text files instead of requiring proprietary tools to manage the config. This allows for me to change the config using scripts.

I'd like to have more reporting options. I can generally get what I want by querying the catalog SQL database, but I don't want to have to do that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Security, speed. Differentiated support, many plugins that make day-to-day easier Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Possibility of management via mobile(web or app) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it because it's very extensible and can be used for customizing a mid-level enterprise. The File daemon once setup just runs smoothly without hassles.Everything we need is available on web platform on Bweb management console. There's also option for Baculum support. I personally like because it's feature includes Bare-metal backup VM Backup DB backup Cloud Backup Tape Backup Replication using Wan and Restoration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Enterprise edition is quite advantageous than the Community edition. Even though the trial version gives you all access to try Enterprise Edition version 8 features, VSS plugin, BWeb Management Suite etc. It'll make you want to buy for service unlike Bare-os which started initially as a fork of Bacula is being considered as a better alternative to Enterprise edition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy installation.

Lots of features like compression, storage allocation, flexibility and intuitive configuration.

Technical support has been very prompt and excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't really think of anything at the moment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
