We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The user interface in general is very good. I"
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The ability to restore in a catastrophic event is priceless, since every company must use a backup solution of some sort."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"Creating a backup task in NAKIVO is fast and easy."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"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."
"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."
"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 speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"In the loading of a backup, choosing what to restore seems to be a lengthy process, but it has always worked in my restore tests."
"There are many features we have not had the opportunity to try, such as Tape Backups, Office 365 backups, and many other things."
"I would like to have a built-in SNMP client, which is important if we want to monitor it using Zabbix, Nagios, or another monitoring solution."
