Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product's deployment process was straightforward.""The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication.""I would recommend it if there is a general case.""One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature.""The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution.""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.""The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."

Cons
"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.""Licensing can be quite difficult.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it.""A lot of their new technologies are not very good.""I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those.""We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
