Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."

"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."

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

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"I like the tool's speed."

"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."

"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."

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

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

"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."

More Arcserve UDP cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"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."

"Pricing is most likely comparable."

"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."
