We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"It is easy to configure."
"The VM Backup Verification is one of the features I appreciate the most."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"Nakivo has improved our organization largely due to the fact that it is an extremely robust backup system."
"Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"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."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"We are satisfied with Nakivo, but if anything could be improved, I think it would be more real-time as opposed to email support availability."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"The backup speed needs improvement."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
