Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication.""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.""The standard backup and restore feature is most used.""It is very stable.""The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication.""Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality.""The most valuable feature is the duplication."

Cons
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""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.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""A lot of their new technologies are not very good.""Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive.""I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

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."
