"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."

"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."

"Specific features that I could not do without are SLPs for replication and duplication control and AIR which makes DR easy."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"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 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."
"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."

"The product could improve the user-friendliness and comfort of its environment, especially for those unfamiliar with it."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
