Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."

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

"It is very stable."

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"It's simple to set up."

"It is easy to configure."

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

"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

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

"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."

"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."

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

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

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."

"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."

"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."

"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."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"Pricing is most likely comparable."

"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."

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

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

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

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