We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and Arcserve UDP based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Some of the most valuable features are recovery, protection against malware, and software management. I am happy with the dashboards and user interface."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"For local backups, it has options to back up almost any storage. The back can be either a shared folder or anything you want, it's pretty flexible."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that you can archive backups quite easily and minimize the amount of space you're using."
"The solution has all the features I need and user friendly."
"The ability to clone backups."
"The interface is easy to use. They keep on adding new features. Acronis recently added multi-platform support."
"The most valuable feature is that you can do a bare-metal restore even with dissimilar hardware."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"I like the tool's speed."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"The backing up of virtual machines in VMware and Nutanix needs better integration and the performance of the solution needs improvement."
"It could have a better ability to manage backups over a longer period."
"We would always support better pricing."
"Improved support for immutability and Utility AirGAP could be beneficial."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"We are looking at scaling up to the cloud and using immutable copies on the cloud. Arcserve UDP 8.0 does have the immutable feature supporting AWS, but I'm looking for multi-cloud support. So, I'm waiting for Arcserve to release that in the next release."
"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."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

I agree with @Syed Abid Hussain.
Arcserve is a true DR / Ransomware enabled solution for all businesses and when compared apples to apples to other solutions, very affordable. It is available in cloud, hybrid cloud and appliance, your choice. Use the cloud solution and keep what you have if you like, or replace it all with ARCSERVE.
Is it good? I think it is underrated personally. Arcserve just received PC Editors choice, which isn't too shabby. I've worked with Arcserve for a while and it is a "SET AND FORGET" solution when configured properly. I also know many who use it who only have issues due to misconfiguring the software. Never place it directly on your domain is a starter suggestion.
Arcserve gives you:
What doesn't Acronis do?
So it truly depends upon what you are really looking for in a solution. I hope this helps.
Acronis is good but with very limited features also expensive.
Arcserve has more features like Integrated DR, ransomware security, malware detection. different backups support, multiple hardware support. Also, pricing is lower than Acronis.
if you need just backup service Acronis is good while Arcserve UDP is a full-fledged complete suite for small, medium & large-scale businesses.
