We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup.""I would recommend it if there is a general case.""Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy.""The standard backup and restore feature is most used.""It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them.""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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys."

"It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent.""This solution is stable.""Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication.""The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent.""The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery.""The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency.""We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten.""Ability to restore to any host."

Cons
"The product is not user-friendly.""The initial setup was complex.""The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports.""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.""We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release.""Licensing can be quite difficult.""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 technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear.""Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran.""Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful.""The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer.""The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself.""It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once.""It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location.""Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."

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."

  • "There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."
  • "There is a free version for two VMs. I would advise to study the deployment environment well, prior to committing to order a license per host."
  • "No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."
  • "​By implementing the solution at multiple locations, significant cost savings were achieved."
  • "Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."
