Arcserve UDP vs IBM Tivoli CDP for Files comparison

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"I like the tool's speed."

"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 interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."

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

"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."

"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 restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

"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."

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

"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."

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

"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."

"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."

"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."

"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."

"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"It is a bit pricey, considering the reliability problems. If the tool worked flawlessly, the price would be fair, even cheap."

"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."

"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."
