Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"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."
"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."
"It is easy to configure."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"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."
"The initial setup was straightforward. Deployment takes about two weeks."
"The solution can scale up to one petabyte right now. It's very good for enterprise-level organizations."
"The stability is excellent."
"It is very fast as compared to the other competitors. Its simplicity and bit rate are also valuable. It takes less time if we compare it with the old solution that we have."
"I find the data to be most valuable."
"It's very competitive in terms of the price and technology. Also, the development team continuously makes updates. The data reduction feature is very useful."
"Deduplication and compression are the best features of the solution, which are popular and very effective."
"The compression aspect of the solution is great."
"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 speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"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 solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"We have had deduplication and replication issues. When we used another backup software we noticed that it didn't have the same issues."
"We would like to see the price of this solution brought down to be comparable with similar products currently on the market."
"Installation and deployment for this product need improvement. These processes need to made easier. Currently, it's not an easy installation for customers. This product needs to be installed by professionals."
"The product lacks some security features that would make it more stand-alone and integrated."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"I would like to see integration with public cloud."
"The downside of PowerProtect's flexibility is that you have so many options. It can be a little confusing. It's like having a car with too many buttons on the dash. You can do so much with it, but it takes some time to learn what everything does."
"Dell PowerProtect DD (Data Domain) is expensive. Also, it has a sort of a big physical footprint that data domains have, and that's part of the problem."
