Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the duplication.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys.""We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature.""One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature.""Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy.""Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained.""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.""It is very stable."

"The initial setup is very straightforward.""It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition.""It is affordable.""Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise.""Nakivo makes our backs-ups more reliable and easy to recover in case of full damage or partial retrieval of files - all at a convenient cost.""The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved.""This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups.""With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."

Cons
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""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.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""Licensing can be quite difficult.""The product is not user-friendly.""The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports.""The initial setup was complex.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency.""The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed.""It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed.""There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things.""For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features.""More statistic options would be a great feature.""Integrations maybe helpful for NAKIVO. I think end-to-end backup and user backup will be useful to have. The price could be reduced as well. I also think that AD integration should be more available.""It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
