We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Commvault Cloud 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."The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"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."
"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 ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"This is a very stable product."
"The solution's interface is easy to use. For manageability, it doesn't matter where the resource is coming from or going to. That's the great power of the Control Panel: It's easy to use and does not matter if you manage on-prem or cloud resources."
"The expanse of the decoys that they have is valuable. They cover everything on the corporate side that you would think of, such as Windows, Linux, and even applications like SAP. They also go into the OT environment and emulate OT devices as well."
"The ability to manage everything from a single pane of glass is another major advantage."
"One valuable feature is unlimited backup. You can back up existing users and folders."
"Integration with Active Directory and the Azure platform make it a complete solution."
"The VM backups and the recovery from cloud infrastructure are valuable."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"There is room for improvement in its user interface and web console, called Command Center. They are improving it every year so if they continue in that direction, I think it will be a very reliable console."
"Commvault should keep and continue to develop the Java GUI."
"Additional SaaS application support would be good... we have SaaS applications that may not be big enough for Commvault to support yet. Box.com is one we've asked about for years, and it's just not on the radar, as far as I know."
"Not everyone has agents for everything and Commvault has agents for most products. It's the most complete."
"There could be improvements to the backup failures."
"I would like to see some of the code execute a little bit better when I add new licenses and assign licenses to users. I'd like to see that information update a little quicker."
"When we started using Commvault, we felt that there were some technical issues with managing it, but we are comfortable enough with managing it now. There were many issues, like index corrupting, when we first started, but all those issues were resolved by the Commvault tech team."
"Our customers complain that this is a difficult product to manage."
