Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication 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."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the visibility of what is happening with our business as well as the good reporting and dashboards."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"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."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
