It makes the job of an administrator easy.""The product provides instant and virtual standbys.""Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution.""Easy restoration and the solution works quickly.""The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want.

Cons
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports.""Licensing is an area that needs improvement.""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 support could be more knowledgeable and faster.""Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly.""The initial setup was complex.""Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud.""There is room for improvement in stability.""The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient.""More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios.""The GUI has room for improvement.""It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory.""The GUI could be slightly improved.""The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

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."

  • "The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."
  • "The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
  • "AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."
  • "It's very economical and worth the cost."
  • "It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."
  • "The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."
