Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"I like the tool's speed."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."
"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."
"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
