Featured Reviews

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.
Ingvar  Ingason - PeerSpot reviewer
Channel Sales Manager at Arrow Electronics
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

"It is easy to use and is an all-around solution for the backup of the Windows/Linux/Hyper-V/VMware environments."
"With UDP, I built a low-cost DR site that replicates from the backup."
"Data store deduplication, which saves space on storage and time to backup."
"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."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"Just use Arcserve UDP for Backup, Replication, and a High Availability solution; it is one software and one console for all kinds of data protection."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Our primary use case for the solution is to back up our devices and equipment for employees and some equipment in airport software."

Cons

"Bad. They delay completing the analysis of a problem and absence of contouring solution for unresolved problems."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement. I have had six support calls in the last two years all related to licensing because the license would stop all of a sudden."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The pricing could be improved. It's an expensive solution."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."

"It could be cheaper."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
