Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is easy to configure."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."
"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 Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"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."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
