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."Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"Reverse Delta is Altaro proprietary backup deduplication technology. With Reverse Delta, the latest version of a file is always made available in its entirety, not as a delta file."
"The most valuable feature of Altaro VM Backup is its ability to backup and restore various types of data, including Active Directory, application servers, and SQL Server databases."
"Excellent compression and deduplication with off-site WAN backup included."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"Stability."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
