We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Backup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."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."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"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."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"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."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"You have the flexibility to encrypt your backups and choose the storage capacity you're comfortable paying for."
"It's easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the file recovery and file vault."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is that it is easy to create a backup by using Azure Backup. It also has a good user interface and nice features for sending notifications when any backup fails or there is a change in the status of virtual machines."
"It offers seamless integration."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"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."
"It can be further improved by continuously meeting its compliance requirements."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
"The integration with the record database and integration with other applications will be good, especially with the database piece."
"Azure Backup could improve by offering better integration for Oracle databases and enhancing features like granular restore and backup compliance capabilities."
"They need to improve the frequency of the backup. You can only backup one to three times a day. It would be better to back up continuously throughout the day."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
