We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Commvault Cloud 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."It is very stable."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"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."
"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."
"What I found most valuable in Commvault Complete Data Protection is its deduplication technique, mainly because the solution has the highest deduplication ratio, giving you higher storage capacity."
"It is just about as flexible as you can get; simple. You can put it anywhere you want. You can put it on-prem or in your cloud. I could see where a team that's looking for more of a follow the bouncy ball type of solution might get a little confused. "Oh, no. What do you mean I might have to do it this way or I can't do it that way?" Sometimes, people just want to be told what to do. For an enterprise environment, like we are at NDOT, everything we do is not standard. It is not industry standard; it is not normal. We have all kinds of one-offs. We do need flexibility in the solutions that we get. I will say that Metallic has been extremely flexible in that sense, where we are able to follow the bouncy ball if we wanted to. Obviously, we didn't. We did it our way and Metallic, as a whole solution, provided that to us with no issues."
"Commvault is a very stable product."
"Metallic is user-friendly, cost-effective, and the technical support is impressive."
"A very stable and scalable platform (you can backup/restore/protect a couple of MBs or hundred of TBs as well from the same console/platform)."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"Commvault's many features can be explored to get more value from more solutions."
"The return points are very valuable."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"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."
"Commvault HyperScale X could improve by allowing backups of the storage area network (SAN)."
"The initial setup is rather complex, especially when switching versions."
"The Java interface is not great. The Command Center interface is far better and it looks nicer, but it doesn't have all the powerful features available in the CommServe/Java console. The place to improve the product is on the management interface level."
"Commvault is a rich system that might scare somebody the first time they see it because it feels so huge."
"The new HTML5-based management portals are very nice, but do not yet have all of the features of the Java-based client."
"The solution is expensive in comparison to similar solutions."
"The product does not provide an option to save a copy of data on-premises."
"When we send a query to Commvault, they take a long time to answer our questions."
