Pros
"The recovery part of the product is very good.""I would recommend it if there is a general case.""It's simple to set up.""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 ease of use is the best feature of the product.""The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features.""Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution.""The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."

"You can back up the whole image.""The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup.""The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent.""The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion.""It has a user-friendly interface.""Offers good recovery quickly.""With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements.""The installation was straightforward."

Cons
"The product is not user-friendly.""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.""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.""It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""A lot of their new technologies are not very good.""They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it.""We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement.""It needs an easier interface.""The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.""The pricing could be cheaper.""The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable.""Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement.""Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot.""The reliability is sometimes lacking."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."
  • "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."
  • "Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
  • "The price of this product is high and it should be lower."
  • "It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
  • "The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
  • More Arcserve UDP Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
