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 of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"I think the brand is very good. Support is also very nice for end users and integration with EMC products for businesses."
"It works quickly and is very stable."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"Centralization is Avamar's biggest advantage. It moves data to a central location from various geographical locations."
"The fast backup and recovery and the Full Backup features are valuable."
"We've found the product to be stable."
"The entire system operates seamlessly, with minimal hands-on involvement, allowing us to focus on monitoring rather than constant adjustments or deployments, as seen in larger, more dynamic environments."
"Its deduplication technologies are the best in the market, currently."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"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."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"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."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The solution could be a bit easier to use in the sense that they need to make it simpler to backup products and restore items."
"Dell hasn't done a good job at handling these upgrades, or the way EMC used to handle them."
"It would be better if we could integrate easily with other platforms."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"The UI is not easy to use. There are other products such as Veeam that are easy to use for the end-user which is why they are moving away from Avamar or Networker."
"Avamar cannot back up Nutanix as a virtual solution."
"The screen design is a bit back-dated."
"It would be helpful if there was cloud support."
