We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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 standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"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."
"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."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"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."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
