Featured Reviews

Sergio Itikawa - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Architect at SPEData
Has supported hybrid IT environments effectively and offers strong data protection
With Arcserve UDP, the most valuable feature is to improve persistent data, which I consider important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve UDP, as we use TrueNAS as well. Arcserve UDP improves the precision of data. I have utilized Arcserve UDP's data deduplication feature, and the data deduplication feature helps my storage efficiency significantly. I have used Arcserve UDP's continuous data protection. It is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly and have no objections to Arcserve UDP technology; I think it is very good. Arcserve UDP's integration with multiple operating systems is very good and very efficient. This brings value for me since many of my clients have different operating systems like Windows and Linux; there is no problem. Regarding the deduplication and compression with Arcserve UDP, I think Arcserve UDP is still a solid solution that we primarily use.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy to use, good stability, and disk space gain with greater data protection and we were able to replicate the environment to another place or other platform at no additional cost."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP."
"It is easy to use and is an all-around solution for the backup of the Windows/Linux/Hyper-V/VMware environments."
"Physical and virtual servers are treated the same, and an image can be copied from one machine to another, whether physical to virtual, virtual to virtual, virtual to physical, or physical to physical."
"Just use Arcserve UDP for Backup, Replication, and a High Availability solution; it is one software and one console for all kinds of data protection."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup, so our IT staff don't waste time doing unnecessary work and can set up and focus on other tasks."
"Arcserve UDP provides security to our database and also it takes backup regularly, without human intervention."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix, in my opinion, will eventually take over."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is useful for those who run an infrastructure where there might arise a need to do some transition or want to opt for digital transformation."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
 

Cons

"For the next release, I'd like to see SIFS (NetApp or EMC) support from the UDP console."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"Customer service and support need to be improved. Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"It could be cheaper."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"The solution could be cheaper and they should include more education or marketing materials for users to understand how to use the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."
"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 is a bit pricey, considering the reliability problems. If the tool worked flawlessly, the price would be fair, even cheap."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."
"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
