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."Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."
"It can be quickly configured via web pages."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"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."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"From our experience, the main factor that could be improved is adding more cloud services that are supported as a backup repository."
"I would like to have the option of creating a subfolder per job in the backup repository because we had an issue where some files were corrupted and we lost the backup of the majority of the VMs."
"I would love to see BackBlaze B2 implementation in the future, as that would be our preferred cloud destination, but Amazon and Wasabi are both very great choices in the meantime."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"The interface might be improved, but the interface of every product might be improved."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
