Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them.""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 product's deployment process was straightforward.""The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy.""Easy restoration and the solution works quickly.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""The recovery part of the product is very good.""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."

Cons
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive.""Backups are very slow and time consuming.""The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India.""The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""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."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"The interface and documentation need to improve.""The product has to be more mature, like to be another six to eight months on the market. A lot of maturity needs to be incorporated."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "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."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
