Cost savings and efficient decompression but needs better cloud integration
Our primary use case for Arcserve UDP is its decompression feature, which helped us save money by reducing storage needs. Despite moving to cloud applications, we have been using Arcserve UDP for backup and disaster recovery Arcserve UDP has helped our organization save considerable amounts of…

Jaimin Mehta - PeerSpot reviewer
Affordable, highly scalable, and outstanding support
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. Currently, Nutanix is providing the remote snapshot, and on the data center side, there is one cluster, and on the DR side, there is another cluster. We have synchronized both clusters with the same environment. For connectivity, we are using a Megaport link, and we have to pay a third party for that. If Nutanix can provide such connectivity, it will be helpful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
More Arcserve UDP pros
"The solution is stable."
"The tool's most valuable feature is ease of use."
"It offers synchronous data replication, allowing us to sync our recovery data every hour and efficiently send applications to remote sites."
"We haven't needed anyone to maintain or deploy the solution. The traditional Nutanix administrator can administer the solution."
"Hyper-convergence gives me the ability to patch my firmware, software, and hypervisors with a single click. That is extremely useful."
"The most valuable feature is its simplicity."
"It is a very secure and scalable solution, and their support is also outstanding."
 

Cons

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"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."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"The product is not user-friendly."
More Arcserve UDP cons
"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."
"The pricing could be better."
"They need better reporting on the environment."
"The solution needs improvement in cost."
"I think that Nutanix should support public clouds instead of the Nutanix data centers."
"The product is more costly than other platforms. The price could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."
"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."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."
"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
"It is a little bit cheaper than the other products in the market. It is affordable."
"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."
