Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication.""The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication.""The ease of use is the best feature of the product.""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.""The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion.""You can back up the whole image.""Offers good recovery quickly.""The installation was straightforward.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""It has a user-friendly interface."

Cons
"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.""The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved.""Licensing is an area that needs improvement.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India.""The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow.""The support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""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."

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""It needs an easier interface.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""We faced issues with recovery and restoration.""The pricing could be cheaper.""The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable.""Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""The reliability is sometimes lacking."

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."
  • More Arcserve UDP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
