We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."I like the tool's speed."
"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."
"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."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"It is very stable."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"For my purpose, I find VM Backup to be the most useful, as it gives me the ability to create image-based, incremental backups of VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix AHV VMs."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The ability to create a replica of all virtual machines is a great feature."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"The backup and replication are great."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"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."
"In the press releases, it would be useful to make sure that the manual space reclaim procedure does not have to be performed but that it happens automatically, thus optimizing the use of space."
"We would like to back up File Shares to Amazon S3/Wasabi."
"My first thought was maybe the GUI could be improved, although it works."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"An additional feature that would be appreciated is disaster recovery automation."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
