We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Arcserve UDP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the extra protection, especially for the backup."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The user interface (UI) is easy to use."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"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."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"There are a lot of products out there that are a little bit stronger than Acronis where AV is concerned."
"I believe that the next release should be easier to configure as this one is difficult to configure even the easiest of tasks."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"The solution could improve by providing more database backup features and have better integration with many different types of databases. We cannot implement it in all of our infrastructures."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."

I agree with @Syed Abid Hussain.
Arcserve is a true DR / Ransomware enabled solution for all businesses and when compared apples to apples to other solutions, very affordable. It is available in cloud, hybrid cloud and appliance, your choice. Use the cloud solution and keep what you have if you like, or replace it all with ARCSERVE.
Is it good? I think it is underrated personally. Arcserve just received PC Editors choice, which isn't too shabby. I've worked with Arcserve for a while and it is a "SET AND FORGET" solution when configured properly. I also know many who use it who only have issues due to misconfiguring the software. Never place it directly on your domain is a starter suggestion.
Arcserve gives you:
What doesn't Acronis do?
So it truly depends upon what you are really looking for in a solution. I hope this helps.
Acronis is good but with very limited features also expensive.
Arcserve has more features like Integrated DR, ransomware security, malware detection. different backups support, multiple hardware support. Also, pricing is lower than Acronis.
if you need just backup service Acronis is good while Arcserve UDP is a full-fledged complete suite for small, medium & large-scale businesses.
