Cons
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS.""The support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India.""Licensing is an area that needs improvement.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"Their product is good and it meets our requirements, however, new features are also most welcome and we never hesitated to try new features.""The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes.""One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point.""There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things.""In the future, it would be nice to have support for Zimbra email, Collabora Office, and the NextCloud content collaboration platform.""In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon.""We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi.""It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

  • "I advise that this is the best product for medium or small environments according to my cost-benefit analysis."
  • "You have a lot of different options when it comes to pricing and the pricing models are pretty flexible and affordable."
