Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options

I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

Good replication features with helpful reporting and comprehensive email notifications

I use the solution for the backup and replication of VMs. I use Nakivo to back up in-house VMs. We also use the replication features of the product. With such an option I can just switch on the second standby hardware over to a replicated server at a fraction of the time, thus taking a lot of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It's simple to set up."

"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."

"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."

"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."

"It is very stable."

"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."

"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."

"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."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."

"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."

"The user interface is good, and it's user-friendly. I also like its usability with hyper-convergence products like Nutanix and others in the data infrastructure."

"The ability to use a variety of cloud providers rather than being tied into one is a huge bonus."

"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."

"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."

"The backup and replication are great."

"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."

Cons

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

"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 product is not user-friendly."

"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 are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."

"I need no more valuable features for backs-up. I have not yet tried the latest release, however, I have all the features that I need."

"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 could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."

"The reporting features could be enhanced to provide more detailed and customizable reports for better insights into backup operations."

"The process for getting unused diskspace back from the data repository is slow."

"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."

"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."

"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"The solution is very expensive."

"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."

"The pricing is moderate."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

More Arcserve UDP pricing and cost advice

"The licensing currently allows for host-based licensing, which is advantageous if you have a lot of data on a few hosts."

"Nakivo is cheaper per machine and per backup."

"From the perspective of Indian users, the cost is a little bit high."

"The licensing model is crystal clear on the website."

"It has a very good price in the market."

"Nakivo has a good price-performance ratio."

"As a free solution for a small environment, this is a great solution!"

"The pricing, setup costs, and licensing are easy to understand, no matter how you want to implement it."
