We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Dell Avamar 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's deployment process was straightforward."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"It's simple to set up."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"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."
"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."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Dell EMC Avamar is very good with endpoint backups."
"We've been using this solution to backup our servers. It is a simple backup and restore data application."
"It's a good solution."
"I have found the product to be scalable."
"Quick incremental backups and product replication are the two highlights of the product. Once you capture a full backup, incrementals are pretty quick. It is fairly efficient from that perspective."
"All the features in the system are highly valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Avamar would have to be the way it works over needing very little bandwidth to move data across a WAN or LAN."
"The product is good for backups."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"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."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"It's not the best solution for big databases."
"A benefit would be support for either Azure Cool Storage or AWS Glacier."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications and platforms."
"If there is a need to move the data from one backup solution to another, it might be difficult since there is no option for a straightforward migration."
"The solution could improve by having better integration and more flexibility."
"The challenges we do face typically revolve around aligning specific features with our accustomed tool usage."
"The stability could improve, a lot of scheduled backups failed at one time."
"This solution could improve by introducing daily verifications and another repository."
