Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

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

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

"I like the tool's speed."

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

"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."

"The recovery part of the product is very good."

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

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

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

"The most valuable feature is the backups."

"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."

"Licensing can be quite difficult."

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

"The product is not user-friendly."

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

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

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

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

"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 solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

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

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

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

"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."

"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 pricing is moderate."

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

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