Pros

Cons
"StorageCraft wasn't getting full backup coverage. It was backing up around one to 2% of the points. It was not a reliable platform and it wasn't giving any sort of alerts that things were not working."

More Arcserve Cloud Services Cons →

"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call.""The tool should improve synchronization.""The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required.""When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit.""In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement.""Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability.""One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately.""The immutable backup could be better."
