Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

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

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

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

"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 ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."

"I like the tool's speed."

"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."

"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."

"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."

"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."

"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."

"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

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

"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."

"We cannot restore each user's mailbox. Each user's mailbox should be independently restorable. Also, this solution is very slow. If you select all of the servers, it runs for a long time... It needs to be faster. Finally, If anything happens to one server we should be able to switch to another server."

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

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

"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."

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

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

"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."

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

"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."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"The pricing is moderate."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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