We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Arcserve UDP 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."Universal Restore is valuable to us."
"One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"Acronis has many features, which are really very interesting, when it comes to data backup and recovery, especially disaster recovery (DR)."
"This is a full software so deployment time is very quick."
"I can encrypt the data, I can make it send me an email if it fails. It lets me choose which files I want to ignore during backup."
"The most valuable feature is its consistency."
"The most valuable features of Acronis Backup are instant restore, antivirus, and ransomware protection. Additionally, the documentation is good."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"It is easy to configure."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"I have no suggestions for improvements as I have only used the product for a month and have yet to really discover all of its aspects."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"It could back up more things. I don't think it can back up Box and some of the other third-party ones. Not that we use them that much, but the more they can do, the better it would be. There could also be better integrations with RMM tools."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The licensing approach becomes intricate when dealing with SharePoint."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"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."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"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."

I agree with @Syed Abid Hussain.
Arcserve is a true DR / Ransomware enabled solution for all businesses and when compared apples to apples to other solutions, very affordable. It is available in cloud, hybrid cloud and appliance, your choice. Use the cloud solution and keep what you have if you like, or replace it all with ARCSERVE.
Is it good? I think it is underrated personally. Arcserve just received PC Editors choice, which isn't too shabby. I've worked with Arcserve for a while and it is a "SET AND FORGET" solution when configured properly. I also know many who use it who only have issues due to misconfiguring the software. Never place it directly on your domain is a starter suggestion.
Arcserve gives you:
What doesn't Acronis do?
So it truly depends upon what you are really looking for in a solution. I hope this helps.
Acronis is good but with very limited features also expensive.
Arcserve has more features like Integrated DR, ransomware security, malware detection. different backups support, multiple hardware support. Also, pricing is lower than Acronis.
if you need just backup service Acronis is good while Arcserve UDP is a full-fledged complete suite for small, medium & large-scale businesses.
