Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"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 most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"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."
"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."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"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."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"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."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"I would like to see more security features."
