We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Microsoft DPM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"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 ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"This solution helps us to manage all of the operations across servers and different workstations."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The initial setup is quite straightforward."
"It is almost perfect for Microsoft products. It is not a very powerful tool, but it is okay for small sites and small businesses with Microsoft products. It is easy to use for backup and restore. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers such as Exchange and SharePoint servers."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"It would be better if it integrated seamlessly with open source and competitor products. In the next release, I would like to see some data governance frameworks. It should have support features for data integration and data replication like Veeam. Right now, we are also using Veeam for certain scenarios."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
