We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure 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."It is easy to configure."
"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."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"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."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Azure Backup is good because it is entirely cloud-based, which means that you can be 99.9% sure that your backup is safe."
"The tool has a lot of features."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is the native backup capabilities."
"The scalability has been good."
"First of all, you can schedule a backup for the client. You can schedule it as you like. You can also control the bandwidth, so the backup will not utilize. The internet will depend on the bandwidth."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"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."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Azure Backup must include features similar to enterprise solutions."
"I believe more options could be available to understand better what's happening in the system. Additionally, automating the client updates and connector updates would be beneficial. Updating the connector from time to time can be challenging, and it could be made more transparent and straightforward for users. Moreover, another drawback lies in the time it takes to test full data backup recovery. Deploying a full recovery takes longer. We need to allocate a longer period for complete data recovery to establish the environment again."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"My company faces a lot of difficulties in restoring any encrypted VM backup."
"The extensibility onto hybrid environments needs a bit of tweaking for those on-prem."
"Technical support is in need of improvement."
"Azure Backup is limited to certain workloads. It would be helpful if Microsoft focused on enabling backups for Oracle and other unsupported databases."
"We faced some issues synchronizing the information in Azure when the storage was changed."
