Arcserve UDP vs Quest NetVault comparison

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."

"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."

"It's simple to set up."

"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."

"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."

"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."

"The user interface is good."

"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."

"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."

"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."

"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."

"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."

"The interface is very user-friendly."

"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"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."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."

"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."

"Licensing can be quite difficult."

"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."

"The initial setup is a little complex."

"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."

"There are command-line limitations. There is not a very strong possibility to work with the command line. The commands that are there are not that powerful, and you need to be very good at scripting, for example, in PowerShell or in Bash in case it is running on Linux systems. You need to combine a lot of commands together, and still, you will not get a great output that is presentable to others. You cannot work with it as easily."

"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."

"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."

"The stability of the solution is poor."

"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."

"The storage capacity is very low."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is moderate."

"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."

"The tool is expensive."

"When we purchased four licenses, we were given a very good price. However, it is still on the high side when compared to some other vendors."

"The price of our 12-month contract is approximately $1,500 AUD ($1,100 USD)."
