We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Dell Data Protection Advisor 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 product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"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."
"It's simple to set up."
"The platform's most valuable features are data protection and retention."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment typically takes about one hour. You just need one person to handle the deployment process."
"The most valuable aspects of the solution are the compression and the duplication."
"This is a stable solution."
"It has a lot of stock reports. I believe over 300 canned reports, which for the most part meet a lot of generic needs."
"I can increase the tool's licensing as per my requirement with no conditions applied."
"The deduplication is probably the most valuable feature of that requirement."
"The reporting feature and the Dell's continuous improvement of the solution are the most valuable features. The solution not only supports Dell Power Products but also other products."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"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."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"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."
"It's a bit difficult for first-time users."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement for stand alone users."
"There is a steep learning curve to use the interface and to create new reports, this could be made easier. If the solution could provide more drag and drop functionality to build more advanced reports that would be very helpful."
"Dell Data Protection Advisor's feature for data domain protection needs enhancement."
"The functionality of the Data Protection Advisor is limited and is something that is lacking in this solution. Other solutions like CloudIQ and DDMC provide a much better outlook on how data protection should be done."
"They should empower their customers with the ability to upgrade this solution as long as it's in the same major release."
"It is difficult to manage the solution with the available tools. You need to know exactly what are you are doing."
"We have encountered issues where we were unable to pull data from the database server. It should also improve the backward compatibility."
