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 most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."

"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."

"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."

"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."

"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."

"It is very stable."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"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 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."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

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

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

"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."

"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."

"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."

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

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The deduplication and compression ratio could be improved to save more space for customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

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

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is very expensive."
