Arcserve UDP vs IBM Tivoli CDP for Files comparison

"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."

"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."

"The recovery part of the product is very good."

"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."

"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."

"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."

"The ability to switch between different hardware platforms and utilization tools are some of this solution's most valuable features."

"I would recommend it if there is a general case."

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

"One area for improvement in Arcserve UDP is its capability to interact with other cloud servers."

"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."

"Licensing can be quite difficult."

"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."

"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."

"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."

"The initial setup was complex."

"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."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

"There are annual subscription fees and there are licensing costs for three computers. It is an expensive solution."

"I rate the product price a five on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"The solution is priced well compared to other solutions."

"I do not work with the pricing or licensing issues of the solution for our organization."

"The licensing cost is for one year. There are not any hidden costs involved in the pricing model of the solution."

"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."

"The solution is not very expensive, but it is not cheap."

"It's expensive, but it's worth for it due to the volume of critical information within our database. We are currently paying about $22,000 per year."
