We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the tool's speed.""The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication.""We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature.""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.""Easy restoration and the solution works quickly.""It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them.""The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys."

"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility.""I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions.""I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%.""Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with.""Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."

Cons
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive.""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.""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.""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.""The support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost.""Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently.""There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix.""Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."

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."

  • "We’ve had experience with the data center for a while and we have had solutions that were able to support older versions of the operating systems that we needed. I would like for Druva to support it as well."
  • "Druva Phoenix's pricing is based on the service provided, and it's reasonable. The cost of the service will depend on the size of your data and the number of virtual machines being backed up. However, the pricing structure is straightforward and easy to understand."
  • "I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
