"I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"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 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."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"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."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."

"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."

"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"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."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."

"Improvement areas for Altaro VM Backup include enhancing backup and deduplication solutions for continuous operation and offering an all-in-one solution for hardware backup."
"Stability."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
