We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Commvault Cloud 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."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"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 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."
"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."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"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."
"The email archiving feature is very smooth and better than others."
"There are many valuable features of Commvault HyperScale X giving many possibilities to complete jobs."
"Whoever has an Endpoint license can store unlimited data on the cloud."
"The recovery features are useful. It is easy to recover data. If something happens, we can easily recover data. We have faced ransomware issues twice, and we recovered because of Commvault."
"The convenience of backing up and restoring simultaneously is very valuable."
"We use the solution for cloud and data backup."
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"It is easy to use and stable. It delivers what has been promised. When it says it can do something, it can actually do it, as opposed to some of its competitors."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It is a little more complicated than it really needs to be."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"It takes a lot of technical expertise to implement. Commvault could increase the training it provides to customers and partners."
"The solution's breadth and depth of cloud support are good, but could be better. Some cloud features that are common-sense, especially on AWS, are not completely integrated yet in the product. They are a work-in-progress."
"The product could be more convenient in terms of working with different solutions and having more integration between the different products in the market."
"Setup is complex."
