Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"It is easy to configure."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"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 product is not user-friendly."
"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."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"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."
