Cost savings and efficient decompression but needs better cloud integration

Our primary use case for Arcserve UDP is its decompression feature, which helped us save money by reducing storage needs. Despite moving to cloud applications, we have been using Arcserve UDP for backup and disaster recovery Arcserve UDP has helped our organization save considerable amounts of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."

"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."

"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"The stability of the solution is excellent."

"The solution saves a lot of storage capacity."

"Has very good deduplication and encryption features."

Cons

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."

"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."

"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The solution's pricing could be improved."

"improvement? HPE StoreOnce has a limitation with respect to controllers. Other tools offer more than one controller. I feel that the high availability of the view controller should be redundant. The tool’s control and UI part should be improved and made more advanced. The feature that helps with the manual movement of tapes should also be improved."

"This product would be improved with the inclusion of more features to security or WORM."

"I would like to see better integration with Veeam software."

"While the solution does everything expected, it would be beneficial if AI could be integrated for optimization and monitoring."

"HPE StoreOnce needs to provide a SaaS solution by offering high-density disks."

"HPE StoreOnce Backup to Disk (BTD) is not a good backup solution for NAS devices. It does not have a dual controller, so if one controller fails, the entire system will go down."

"The solution's technical support should be faster."

More HPE StoreOnce cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."

"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

"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."

"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

"There are annual subscription fees and there are licensing costs for three computers. It is an expensive solution."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."
