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 is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"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."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"It's simple to set up."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"You can store backups for a while."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"It's so easy to work with."
"It's pretty simple. Once you set it, it goes; and then the idea of being able to get it to the cloud very quickly. It's kind of a set-it-forget-it."
"The deduplication engine. Right now, we're at about 10.5 to 11 times deduplication of our backup data."
"Being able to move data seamlessly from one-premise to the cloud (Azure). It works great. The backup solution is perfect for us."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"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."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"I really want to partner it with the SnapCenter. We haven't implemented that yet. We're upgrading all of our stuff to the ONTAP 9, which you had to have."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"More than a 500 volume limit. At the moment, it only supports up to 500 volumes for SnapMirror and that's a problem. We've got 750, so a larger limit for volume replicas for SnapMirror."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
