Pros
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature.""I would recommend it if there is a general case.""It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution.""Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality.""It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys.""The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication.""The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"The best point about IBM Storage Protect is that it can use IBM tape environments, which we still use and will continue to use in the future.""The tool's backup engine is very powerful. Previously, our client finished backup with HPE product in 48 hours. IBM Storage Protect completes backup in 8 hours."

Cons
"The product is not user-friendly.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve.""The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it.""Backups are very slow and time consuming.""It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups.""The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week.""We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."

"The product should improve its GUI. It should also support Windows clustering.""The solution is expensive."

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."

  • "IBM Storage Protect is not expensive and fits the needs of all business types. The licensing is based on a capacity-based model. You can take a license for one, two, or three terabytes."
