"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
