We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Site Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Azure Site Recovery's automated file synchronization was a game-changer in managing legacy systems."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory 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."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"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."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"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."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"Azure Site Recovery's deployment is complex. There are a lot of bugs, and it needs to improve stability."
"When it runs, it runs well but when it doesn't run, the solution needs to make it clearer as to why and what the troubleshooting process is. All this would be possible if the error logging was streamlined a bit."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"Could have more integration with other platforms."
