We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Cohesity DataProtect 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 recovery part of the product is very good."
"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 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."
"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."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"It makes our administrators' lives much easier to combine backup, archiving, and services like hosting file shares in one central system with only one user interface."
"The dashboard is very rich and provides details needed for a moderator."
"We are very satisfied with the product as a whole—all the backup functions, the data protection functions. We are very satisfied with those, and the product is very simple to use."
"I like that Cohesity offers the chance to have data on-premises and on the cloud. All the data is automatically sent to the cloud."
"The recovery process is effective, especially when it comes to other types of data, such as VMs, and overall, the performance is commendable."
"The implementation and training are all done through the sales engineer, which provides for a seamless and great experience when it comes to starting with a new vendor."
"Its most valuable feature is its ransomware protection, so it has immutable backups."
"Backups are quick and painless to set up."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"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 product is not user-friendly."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The error handling could be improved."
"The platform has certain limitations, mostly stemming from the restrictions imposed by the VMware API and some other factors. One area where there is room for improvement is the tracking of replicated copies, especially in the context of remote archive duplication."
"Initial setup can be complex if you need to change IP addresses. Hopefully, they improve that in a future release."
"We have had our share of minor bugs over the past two years and a few bigger ones."
"We are waiting on the AIX agent to be released."
"We aren't missing any features. In terms of the solution overall, it's so far so good."
"The product is still young and is continually improving. There have been a couple of buggy releases in the software that have caused us minor issues, so possibly some better QA before releasing would prove to be useful. We have also been inquiring about new app and functionality via the Marketplace that was teased months back but has yet to come to fruition."
"We have Oracle databases running on Linux servers in our environment and we have found the Oracle backups were quite complex to setup."
