We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Microsoft DPM 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 ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"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."
"It's simple to set up."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"It is very stable."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"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."
"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."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"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 solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
