We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Veritas NetBackup 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 things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"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."
"It's simple to set up."
"It is easy to configure."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Logs are very easy to read, parse, and use for diagnostics."
"Disaster recovery primarily involves backup usage. We employ it for both backup and recovery purposes. The backup and recovery processes have been executed multiple times, even restoring data from backups created three to four years ago."
"What I like most is it is a professional product. It supports all kinds of technologies, and I consider it one of the best backup products available."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"It is very easy to back up and recover files compared to other products."
"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."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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."
"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 product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"I think reporting can always be improved."
"Technical support only gets back to us the following morning."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"It needs support for Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs)."
"Planning for the implementation takes a lot of time."
"It would be better if it had a cloud integration feature. I would like to use a single product for the cloud instances and the on-premise instances. The price could also be better."
