Arcserve UDP vs IBM Tivoli CDP for Files comparison

"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."

"Easy to use, good stability, and disk space gain with greater data protection and we were able to replicate the environment to another place or other platform at no additional cost."

"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."

"With UDP, I built a low-cost DR site that replicates from the backup."

"It is very stable."

"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."

"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is its decompression capability."

"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."

"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."

"Even though a lot of other people like Veeam, Tivoli's restoration and infrastructure are unbeatable, making them the only ones that we rely on despite other feasible options."

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."

"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."

"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."

"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 product requires too many VMs as intermediaries."

"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically."

"The product is not user-friendly."

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

"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."

"We rarely need to reach out to customer service; however, when we do, they have not been able to help us resolve a single call."

"As an MSP partner, I believe that the prices are fair."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a four or five out of ten."

"The price of this product is high and it should be lower."

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

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

"The pricing of the product can be considered to be reasonable enough for the Asian region."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"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."
