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."We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"It is very stable."
"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 ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"We can add multiple appliances to the product."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"It is easy to use and the performance is good."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"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 technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"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."
"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 time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"It's hard to get to the backups. There are too many tabs."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"The scalability isn't great. Every time you want to add storage, you can't just add a little bit, you need to add a lot."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"The NetBackup software is based on Red Hat Linux, but we should have multiple software options for that. We should have more OS options. Also, there are too many tools and intermediaries. Everything should be built into an all-in-one solution."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve by having a site recovery feature."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance can improve by having a more direct connection to the cloud. It should have the technology to be able to directly communicate with the cloud."
