We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Rubrik 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 most valuable feature is the duplication."
"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."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"ubrik's One-Touch Recovery helps address this. Using backup as a migration tool can also help overcome challenges when moving to a hybrid cloud."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"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."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
