Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution. The solution is also open for the BMR recovery for any point of failure with bare-metal hardware, like any other OEM, we can restore all the data.

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.

Our customers find the recovery in minutes useful. Arcserve has a functionality where we can execute a recovery in five minutes. Once the primary server crashes, we can start the virtual server in booting time. They also like replication to off-site and booting the server on the DR site.

The customers are happy and have been using the solution for over three to four years. The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows. The customers have not complained to us about any functionality.

Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP. When one machine is down, the instant recovery feature allows us to start it within a minute. Taking a backup in Arcserve UDP requires a basic, simple configuration.

Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained.

The best feature of the product stems from the fact that it is an overall good product that can help with backup and recovery. The tool helps deal with recovering data from a physical to a virtual machine and vice versa. The recovery part of the product is very good.

Overall, it's a good product.

The licensing is very good. We're happy it has cloud capabilities. 

It offers a different use method. You can use it on the cloud or buy an ArcSoft appliance. 

The duplication is useful. ArcSoft achieves better duplication levels than Veeam, for example. The performance is much better.

The management is very easy as it has a very good interface. It's simple to configure.

The pricing is fair and reasonable. 

It's simple to set up.

The best feature of the product is its simple environment, making it simple for users to take care of the configuration part. In our company, though we have found a few issues with Arcserve UDP, most of them crop up from the lack of features provided in the solution.

It's an extraordinary product. We've had ransomware several times over the last few years.

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

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 ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.

Physical and virtual servers are treated the same, and an image can be copied from one machine to another, whether physical to virtual, virtual to virtual, virtual to physical, or physical to physical. As a result, you can transition from HP to Dell, or from VMware to Hyper-V to physical.

The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine. I can just right-click, open it in Arcserve view, and copy anything I want to add to the production. This is very easy and simple. And, the restore function is very fast. This is a huge benefit. The backup is also very short.

The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too. 

Overall, the tool itself is fine – the problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues.
