Cost savings and efficient decompression but needs better cloud integration
Our primary use case for Arcserve UDP is its decompression feature, which helped us save money by reducing storage needs. Despite moving to cloud applications, we have been using Arcserve UDP for backup and disaster recovery Arcserve UDP has helped our organization save considerable amounts of…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"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 of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"​Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
 

Cons

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"​The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.​"
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."
"The solution is very expensive."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."
"Pricing is most likely comparable."
"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."
"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."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
