"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."

"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

"The price is based on the number of sockets. We use a four-socket price that includes two servers and the cost is $4,375."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
