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."The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"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."
"It is very stable."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"The chat functionality with Nakivo Support in the web interface is very unique and we love it."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The product license and support delivery have been great!"
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"The fact that it works with Synology is a big valuable point. Also, that we can check the functionality of a backup so easily. Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product. We can save so much time with Nakivo and are very happy that we found it and loved to use it for our solutions."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"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."
"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 technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"An improvement would be to give us more control over the email alerts, with different emails going to different addresses based on a set of rules."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"I would like to see some additional models in the next release to make backups more functional."
