Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable aspect of CloudEndure Disaster Recovery is its instant block replication feature. This allows us to perform live block verification and eliminates the need to concern ourselves with recovery point objectives. This capability is particularly advantageous for critical workloads."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward, it's not complex."
"The setup is pretty straightforward."
"We have never had any issues with scalability."
"Technical support has been very good. They usually respond quickly to our requests."
"It's on the cheaper side and not too expensive for users."
"For regular backup and restore solutions, this product is fine."
"It provides our disaster recovery solution. It works fine in our tests."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"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."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The UI could be a little sleeker."
"Sometimes a server will get a bit behind. "
"The failback could be improved. It should be more intuitive."
"The only thing I would like to see is, they don't have a formal ticketing system. There is no way I can go back and see what questions we had six months back, what issues we had, and how they were resolved."
"The user interface, customer support, and the recovery time for the current customer query could use improvement."
"I have not seen any areas that need improvement at this time."
"The bandwidth is a constant upload communication to the AWS DR environment, so if you do not have the proper bandwidth, it will definitely eat up your internet line."
"Definitely there should be better logging. From a customer perspective I would like to see more logs on what is happening. If there is an issue, I would like to know what the problem is. Right now, we have to depend on the support of the vendor to check and let us know, because we don't have access to a lot of logging information."
