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

"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 ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"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."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"Vinchin Backup & Recovery supports most mainstream private cloud platforms, including VMware, Nutanix, and Microsoft Hyper-V, as well as many Chinese-based products."

"The user interface is very user-friendly, making it easy for customers to understand and use."

Cons

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."

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

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."

"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place."

"The initial setup was complex."

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

"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."

More Arcserve UDP cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The solution is very expensive."

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."

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

"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."

"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."

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