We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NetApp Cloud Backup 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."
"It's simple to set up."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It is very stable."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"One feature that works well for us is that the Cloud Manager is a completely agentless solution. There's a similar dashboard on both the versions for on-premises and the cloud, and with reference to the Cloud Manager, it's a little faster because there's nothing to be installed as such. Being agentless, it doesn't require any agent to be deployed on the targets where the backups are triggered."
"NetApp Cloud Backup performance is good and they have beneficial technology."
"Scalability is very good."
"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."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"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."
"One area that can be improved is around how we define the different KPIs. In particular, the business KPIs. I have my own in-house application for the business KPIs, so for example, with our policies around retention, which is a period of seven years, I have to read these parameters from other applications and I need them to integrate well."
"Integration and reporting could be improved."
"NetApp Cloud Backup could improve by being easier to use. Veeam solution is easier to use."
