We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Backup 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."The recovery part of the product is very good."
"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."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"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."
"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."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"It is easy to configure."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"Azure Backup is easy to configure and restore."
"The most valuable features of Azure Backup for us are its flexible retention options and the ability to recover to a second region with geo-replication and read access."
"This solution allows me to restore either the VM or the data, depending on what is needed."
"There is only one feature, and that is the backup."
"Setting up Azure Backup is straightforward and the total deployment time was about a month."
"The scalability has been good."
"With a couple of buttons, we can configure a VM for a backup and use the wall service, the storage wall service, pretty seamlessly."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"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 product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Technical support can be slow to respond at times."
"The solution is still in its infancy; it's not a mature product yet."
"I would like to have the option to increase the frequency of the backups. Azure Backup does backups on an hourly basis, but I would prefer it to take backups more often."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"The length of time it takes to restore is our main source of frustration. It would be beneficial to shorten the time it takes."
"I once tried restoring a Linux environment, and the size of the Linux VM or the data disk was really huge. It took a really long time to restore the environment and send the data from the storage to the disk. It took around 25 to 30 minutes, which was much longer than I anticipated. They can improve the duration of such restore operations. In the next release, it would also be good if they could reduce the duration for transferring the data from their storage to the actual storage while creating a virtual machine. They can reduce the duration or increase the data transfer rate."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
