Cons
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups.""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 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 can be quite difficult.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve.""I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those.""The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India.""The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"The automation should be simplified or improved.""When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient.""It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution.""VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage.""The improvements should be as per customer requirements."

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."

  • "I would say VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is very expensive in comparison with other available virtualization solutions."
