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."Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"Enables immediate recovery and immediate restoration."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"The best aspect of the solution is its backup functionality."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"It offers seamless integration."
"We are happy with this product and have not found any issues while using it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease in which it backs up our data."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"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."
"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."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"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 speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The monitoring and tagging features could be improved."
"While Azure Backup allows ingress data, the egress data is chargeable, which should be excluded."
"It still does not have a lot of customization, especially if your workloads are not in Azure."
"I would like to see more automation, integration, and security. The price could be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"There is a limitation of 99 files restores per day which means that we can't complete a huge file restore. We would like Azure to increase the number of the possible file restorations."
