Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

"I like the tool's speed."

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

"It is easy to configure."

"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."

"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."

"It is very stable."

"Arcserve UDP's integration with multiple operating systems is very good and very efficient, which brings value for me since many of my clients have different operating systems like Windows and Linux; there is no problem."

"The most valuable feature is the duplication."

"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."

"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."

"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."

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

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

"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."

"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."

"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."

"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."

"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."

"The solution is very expensive."

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

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

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

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

"The pricing is moderate."

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

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

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