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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"I like the solution; it's working well for us."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Arcserve UDP provides security to our database and also it takes backup regularly, without human intervention."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."
"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."
 

Cons

"The product requires too many VMs as intermediaries."
"The initial setup was complex, but with the help of our IT and engineering staff, it was quite straightforward."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We used Arcserve as a backup solution, but it wasn't very flexible."
"The technical support was horrible. That's why we switched."
"This solution is very slow; if you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time, and even a full night is not enough to perform a backup."
"The reason for this is that the support network for Arcserve appliances is not available in most of the countries outside USA or EU to replace broken units in less than 15 days."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."
"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 retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
"Its price seems reasonable. Its price is average as compared to the other products I've looked at. We have a three-year license right now. There are no other costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."
"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"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."
