Sergio Itikawa - PeerSpot reviewer
Software Solutions Architect at SPEData
Has supported hybrid IT environments effectively and offers strong data protection
With Arcserve UDP, the most valuable feature is to improve persistent data, which I consider important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve UDP, as we use TrueNAS as well. Arcserve UDP improves the precision of data. I have utilized Arcserve UDP's data deduplication feature, and the data deduplication feature helps my storage efficiency significantly. I have used Arcserve UDP's continuous data protection. It is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly and have no objections to Arcserve UDP technology; I think it is very good. Arcserve UDP's integration with multiple operating systems is very good and very efficient. This brings value for me since many of my clients have different operating systems like Windows and Linux; there is no problem. Regarding the deduplication and compression with Arcserve UDP, I think Arcserve UDP is still a solid solution that we primarily use.

An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"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."
"It is easy to configure."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"I like the tool's speed."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
 

Cons

"The product is not user-friendly."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It could be cheaper."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."
"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."
"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 feel that the product is fairly priced."
"Its price seems reasonable. Its price is average as compared to the other products I've looked at. We have a three-year license right now. There are no other costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."
"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."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
