Global deduplication, stable, and flexible licensing options
I give the solution ten out of ten. This solution offers one dashboard to manage the BC con, disaster recovery plan, DR solution, and backup as well as different licensing options, unlike other OEM products. We are the system integrators for our clients, so we design the solution as per the customer's requirements. We provide several solutions options to our clients such as Druva inSync, Druva Phoenix, and Arcserve UDP with the specifications and the client makes a decision based on their requirements. I would advise potential users to first be clear on whether they are going to use it as a backup solution for compliance purposes, just wanting to take the backups of files and servers, or for instant recovery. The IQ and RPO discussion with our customers usually takes 30 minutes. I recommend this solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"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."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"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 most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
 

Cons

"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"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 time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
"It is approximately $400 to purchase a virtual service outright."
"Normally our customers purchase the premium plus license, rather than the standard one, which provides more options."
"The retail fee is $1300 for a year for one server. Other than that, there is just the cost of your hardware."
"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 not very expensive, but it is not cheap."
"The price of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is competitive in the market."
"Pricing is most likely comparable."
"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."
