Simplified data protection enables reliable backup for VM infrastructure
I use Arcserve OneXafe for backup of my VM infrastructure. I have some virtual machines, and I want to make a backup Arcserve OneXafe supports my organization very well in terms of scalability. The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data…

Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options
I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"It's simple to set up."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"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."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
 

Cons

"The price is not the best; it is too high."
"The price is not the best; it is too high. It's not the best solution in terms of price, although the solution itself is good."
"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 that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive."
"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."
"The price is based on the number of sockets. We use a four-socket price that includes two servers and the cost is $4,375."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
"Its price seems reasonable. Its price is average as compared to the other products I've looked at. We have a three-year license right now. There are no other costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
