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."The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"It is very stable."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"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."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"We were evaluating other products and getting confused between Commvault and Veritas NetBackup. The one reason that we started with Veritas NetBackup is the pricing of the license. There's no other reason from a technical perspective or even operation or capability of the two software. The main reason we chose Veritas NetBackup was that in our use case it is more cost-effective."
"This is a complete solution, everything is under one console."
"Ease of installing, configuring, upgrading, and troubleshooting."
"The backup and restore functions are very valuable aspects of the product."
"The features are good."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"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."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
"The solution is not easy to use. You need to train yourself step by step because it is complex, but it is a good solution. Its pricing could be cheaper."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"The interface should be improved."
"Planning for the implementation takes a lot of time."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"The user interface could improve, it seems a bit out of date."
"Netbackup can backup MySQL via Oracle policy, to be honest, this is not completely native support and this method has a few limitations. In fact, you can buy from Veritas (or Zmanda) clients for MySQL or PostgerSQL from Zmanda to backup MySQL or PostgreSQL on Linux."
