We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Site Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"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."
"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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"We use the tool for business continuity purposes."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"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."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"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 time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."
"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"Site Recovery's scalability could be improved."
