We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Arcserve UDP 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."One of the most valuable features of Acronis is its AnyData Engine which allows any device to connect to any other device for the purpose of data restoration."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"One of the features I have found most valuable is the restore point - it gives us what we need at the time we need it. The important thing is that the backup for Acronis doesn't depend as much on the device."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is easy to configure."
"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."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"The support and documentation must be improved."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"When an error occurs, the information is not always easy to understand and these messages should be made more clear."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"It supports Microsoft SQL and Microsoft Exchange, but it does not support Oracle databases or Postgres."
"The product would be better if they offered more integration capabilities."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"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 speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

I agree with @Syed Abid Hussain.
Arcserve is a true DR / Ransomware enabled solution for all businesses and when compared apples to apples to other solutions, very affordable. It is available in cloud, hybrid cloud and appliance, your choice. Use the cloud solution and keep what you have if you like, or replace it all with ARCSERVE.
Is it good? I think it is underrated personally. Arcserve just received PC Editors choice, which isn't too shabby. I've worked with Arcserve for a while and it is a "SET AND FORGET" solution when configured properly. I also know many who use it who only have issues due to misconfiguring the software. Never place it directly on your domain is a starter suggestion.
Arcserve gives you:
What doesn't Acronis do?
So it truly depends upon what you are really looking for in a solution. I hope this helps.
Acronis is good but with very limited features also expensive.
Arcserve has more features like Integrated DR, ransomware security, malware detection. different backups support, multiple hardware support. Also, pricing is lower than Acronis.
if you need just backup service Acronis is good while Arcserve UDP is a full-fledged complete suite for small, medium & large-scale businesses.
