Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."

"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."

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

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is its decompression capability."

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."

"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."

More Arcserve UDP pros

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

Cons

"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."

"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."

"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."

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

"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."

"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 time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."

More Arcserve UDP cons

"The anonymization feature can be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a bit pricey, considering the reliability problems. If the tool worked flawlessly, the price would be fair, even cheap."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

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

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"Pricing is most likely comparable."

"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
