Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"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 standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
