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 feature of Arcserve UDP is its decompression capability."

"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."

"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."

"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 interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"It's simple to set up."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."

"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."

"The solution has been very stable."

Cons

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."

"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."

"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"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."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The management could be a bit better."

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."

"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."

"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."

"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."

"Pricing is most likely comparable."

"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."

"We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."

"There are annual subscription fees and there are licensing costs for three computers. It is an expensive solution."

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
