Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."

"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."

"It is easy to configure."

"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"The most valuable features for us are the ease of use, the reliability, and the exceptional deduplication that we get across that data that we store on those devices."

Cons

"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."

"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."

"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."

"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."

"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"Cloud integration needs to be simplified."

"The product's support is an area with certain shortcomings requiring improvements. Support needs to be faster."

"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."

"Its customer service could be faster."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to be made cheaper than products from Dell and Veeam."

"Some high-level cybersecurity features could be achieved with some entities, and their integration could be built into the store."

"They could provide more options for storage capacity."

"The dashboard needs more improvement."

More HPE StoreOnce cons
