Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"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."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"It is easy to configure."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The dashboards in Micro Focus Data Protector are very good. They are similar to the dashboards in Veeam Backup & Replication."
"Integration with HP storage is a very strong point for Micro Focus Data Protector. It is the best solution for general operations like backup and restore. Zero downtime backup (ZDB) is one very important feature, which is basically the integration with the storage array. It is a very strong feature. We're using storage with snapshots with this integration."
"The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"The initial setup was relatively easy."
"Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"What we find most valuable in Micro Focus Data Protector is that it provides Japanese data protection, for example, it protects information such as the full Japanese name, address, etc."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The initial setup was complex."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"I'm uncertain if it supports virtual machine backup and restoration. If they could enhance this aspect, they could gain more support from end users."
"The technical support was very slow."
"Other tools seem to be easier to use."
"I would like to see a better user interface in the next release."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"Microfocus needs to build a partnership with other vendors in addition to HPE as far as cloud consolidation of backups."
