Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."

"I like the tool's speed."

"It is very stable."

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

"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."

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

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

"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."

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

"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."

"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."

"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."

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

"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."

"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 very expensive."

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

"The solution is expensive."

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

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

"The pricing is moderate."

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

"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."

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