We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"It is very stable."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"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."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"It is flexible."
"The main advantage from our perspective is the ability to plug this solution into an existing infrastructure on a cheap device and point the backup at the server targets and configure the backup options in a simple menu; linking to a cheap cloud resource for a simple solution for off-site storage."
"Before using Nakivo Backup & Replication, all our data backup processes took a long time and did not optimize the disk space reserved for backup. With the introduction of Nakivo Backup & Replication, saving times have been reduced by almost half (thanks to the use of several simultaneous transporters) and the space occupied has also had a very important reduction."
"We really appreciate the simplicity of the solution."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"Sometimes, for some VMs and some Windows Server versions, specifically old versions (aka server 12 or older) fail due to the VSS writer error or locking file system."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."
