We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Site Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"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 most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Our primary use case is for disaster recovery and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR)."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"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."
"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."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"The solution needs to improve replication and failover processes. We are still looking for improvements in the cost baseline."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
