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."Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"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 like the tool's speed."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"Its dashboard is quite well done. When you log into the GUI, you can basically see everything you need to know. There is also the possibility to edit the view as you like, which is great."
"The platform helps us with efficient QoreStor deduplication (DD) capabilities and configuration."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution allows us to block off our network and only give access to whatever we want."
"If a job is pending, the solution communicates it to us through emails."
"It has File and SQL backup, which is the main benefit for us."
"Having the web-based interface is important to us because we can access it from any computer in the network, rather than having it installed and available for use only on a specific one."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It's not that complicated. Deployment took maybe about 15 minutes."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"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."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"I would like to see the option of cloud-based management."
"The interface can be improved. It should be more clear what features are available and make them easy to find."
"The stability of the solution is poor."
"The product’s SQL backup plugin needs improvement."
"The initial setup is a little complex."
"In the next version, I would like to see support for the MongoDB database. As it is now, there is no component that works with it and we cannot back the data up using NetVault."
"There are certain issues with the product that we report to Quest, and we get offered a workaround instead of a fix. There could be better interaction with the development teams, perhaps in terms of transparency."
"The storage capacity is very low."
