Arcserve UDP vs Nutanix Disaster Recovery as a Service comparison

"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."

"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."

"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 solution is stable."

"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."

"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."

"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."

"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."

"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."

"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."

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

"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."

"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."

"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."

"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 solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"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 solution needs improvement in cost."

"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."

"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."

"The pricing could be better."

"For moving the data for DR, we are using Megaport. We are using a Megaport link between the data centers, so we have a third party for the site-to-site connectivity between the data centers. If such connectivity is available from the Nutanix side, it would be helpful for us."

"They need better reporting on the environment."

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

"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."

"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 licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."

"The solution is very expensive."

"The price is based on the number of sockets. We use a four-socket price that includes two servers and the cost is $4,375."

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

"I always want it to be cheaper."

"One-time costs may initially seem high, but they reflect the quality of the service received."

"Besides the license, there are additional costs with the network connection. The customer may want a direct connection between the two data centers and that has an extra cost."

"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
