We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Microsoft DPM 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."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."
"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."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"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."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
