We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and IBM Spectrum Protect Plus 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 ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"It's simple to set up."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"I like the tool's speed."
"It is easy to configure."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"The solution integrates well with other tools."
"The support from IBM is very good."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"With this product, we now have a reliable backup solution."
"A full-featured data protection solution that is reliable and stable."
"This solution is very stable and has good support available online."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"Using this tool, we can easily backup and restore or recover the data for PCs and mobiles in case of system crashes."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"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."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The administration needs to be improved and made simpler to use."
"Not particularly user friendly."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"The software's technical support could improve its response time for different time zones."
"The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved."
