Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."

"The recovery part of the product is very good."

"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"It is easy to configure."

More Arcserve UDP pros

"The most valuable feature for our customers is the restore functionality."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The initial setup was complex."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."

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

"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."

"There are annual subscription fees and there are licensing costs for three computers. It is an expensive solution."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."
