Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."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."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"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 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."
"It has reduced our backup time and simplified our backup processes across all the servers."
"The compression, because it drastically reduces the disk space."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"Make sure you check your backups on a regular basis. Backups do get missed with this tool, for whatever reason."
"The way the filtering goes, if you filter on your view, there is no indication that you have made a selection."
"I would like to see the pieces that they have put in the web only to be put into the thick client sitting on the desktop client."
