Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""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.""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.""The recovery part of the product is very good.""It's simple to set up.""The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V.""The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup.""The product's deployment process was straightforward."

"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable.""NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world.""It’s quite scalable.""Installing this solution is very simple and takes perhaps five or ten minutes.""The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast.""Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it.""We find the pricing is reasonable.""It has a lot of very good features. The virtual tape library (VTL) feature is most valuable. Overall, it is easy to use."

Cons
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve.""The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS.""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.""The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved.""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."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation.""NetBackup Appliance's pricing is reasonable, but it could be lower.""I would like to see a product that requires less expertise to manage it.""The technical support services could be better.""The response from the support team has not always been quick, so sometimes there is a risk.""The monitoring could be a bit better.""In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment.""The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "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."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
