Arcserve UDP Stability
The solution is stable.
View full review »We don't often have crashes or bugs. Our problems usually stem from reliability issues – the difference between what we size the solution for and what the tool actually delivers.
It's not really bugs, it's just that features don't work reliably in practice. Sizing accurately is very hard because the performance varies depending on the application, legacy systems, and the types of files being backed up.
We usually overcompensate in our sizing because of this limitation. It's a flaw of the tool – it doesn't reliably predict performance based on the types of files being stored, making sizing difficult.
Arcserve's documentation is very poor in this regard, so we've learned through experience not to rely too heavily on their sizing tools. Those are the main reliability issues, not frequent bugs or crashes.
We did have one case where a client upgraded Arcserve, and an old legacy system they depended on stopped working due to compatibility issues – but that's a common problem, not specific to Arcserve.

The tool is pretty stable. Once we implement it and start the backup, everything runs without any problem. There's very little support required. We probably get one or two calls in a year. We do proactive support. We reach out to the customer every month to do a recovery test.

View full review »It could be a more stable solution in terms of cloud usage. As for a cloud server, the controller of the physical server needs to be present for the backup running.

Arcserve UDP is pretty much stable, and as a result, it's a good go-to solution. I've been using it for the last eight years.

I think the solution is stable but we had an issue with the JBot a while back. We wanted to add extra disks and when we tried to do that the entire backup was destroyed. The issue was not connected to Arcserve but it caused a huge problem for us.

It is pretty stable. In the past, we had some issues with a different version in which we had to eventually shut down the servers in the production environment. Now, we don't have any issues with it.

It is very stable. It has not crashed for us. And, every time that we needed to restore something, we had it. We could restore very fast.

Approximately two years ago in the previous version of the solution, it was not stable. However, in the new releases, it is quite stable and we have increased the user count from 100 to 250.
