We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups.""Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution.""Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy.""Easy restoration and the solution works quickly.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys.""One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature.""The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."

Cons
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve.""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.""A lot of their new technologies are not very good.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly.""Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive.""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."

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."

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
