"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"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 restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
