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."The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"It is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"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 data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"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."
"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"We have found all the features of Nakivo to be useful and the solution is easier to use compared to Proxmox. It is user-friendly, we are very satisfied."
"The upgrade process is manual but very simple to do."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"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."
"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 could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"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."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"Personally, I would like to have the ability to backup older legacy systems on the new versions as well."
"I had to manually install SNMP, which wasn't hard, but a step I had to take, to plug this into the monitoring system."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
