We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Azure Backup 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."The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"It is easy to configure."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"It's simple to set up."
"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."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"It's easy to deploy."
"I like that it's a simple system."
"When it comes to Azure Backup, the advantage is that it's native and it's very easy to configure. We don't require a separate tool or manage something on a separate server. At the backend, it's managed by Microsoft itself, and we don't need to manage it."
"This solution is easy to configure and restore. It is a Microsoft product so is easily compatible with other solutions."
"It's useful, it works, and it's fairly reliable."
"Our client’s infrastructure is protected by the tool."
"I like the product's restoration cases."
"It's very simple to configure which is very useful. It's not complex to configure it."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"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."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The only problem with the solution is that when I change the drive capacity, it has to do a full backup. It's a problem when I have five servers to backup. When I only want to change the size of the drive, I have to do a full backup that can take one week."
"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."
"To make it a ten, it should have the ability to extend the retention and to perform a copy of the data outside of the subscription - with no additional costs."
"Azure lacks sufficient solutions for a particular scenario, we may need to resort to using third-party applications. In such cases, these applications can be employed to facilitate backup, replication, and the efficient utilization of internet connectivity and bandwidth. They enable us to effectively manage and transfer data while ensuring optimal utilization of network resources. However, it would be a benefit if we did not have to use third-party applications for these operations."
"In the next release, I would like to see the ability to back up to different cloud providers."
"The time required to restore files should be a little faster."
"Azure Backup's licensing model is very challenging because it doesn't give a clear picture."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"We would like to see some kind of notification given to the user that a file was not synchronized well or what may have happened."
"On-prem can be complex to set up but the cloud is simple."
