Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

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

"It is very stable."

"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."

"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."

"I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"It is easy to configure."

"I like the tool's speed."

"The most valuable feature is the backups."

"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."

"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."

"The initial setup was complex."

"The product is not user-friendly."

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."

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

"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."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."

"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."

"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is moderate."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

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

"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."

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

"They are more expensive than some of the others out there. We have gone away from their cloud due to pricing."
