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 ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"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."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."

"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
