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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"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."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"It's simple to set up."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"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."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The performance is good and the interface is user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature is the speed of backup, which is very good compared to other solutions."
"The most valuable feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The backup feature is most valuable. That's why we took it."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"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."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"When we manage the box physically, we don't have as much control as we do when we manage from the cloud. The best management is from the cloud."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"We're working with them on our file share backups. Our solution needs a little bit more fine-tuning. We're not sure if the issue is at our end or at Barracuda's end."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
