We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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."There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"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."
"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"The most valuable feature of StorageCraft ShadowProtect is the speed and the compression of the backups. The compressed backed-up files do not take up as much storage. Additionally, the incremental backups can be done in one minute and be backed up on a disc very fast."
"This solution was surprisingly easy to configure."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"They reply immediately to any query raised from us as a technician or consultant and they know the pulse of the market and keep updating the features in such a big way."
"Nakivo offers direct support through the graphical interface and this is great to have if you need quick help."
"The backup and replication are great."
"We have been able to set up a failover site that has replicas of our critical VMs."
"The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Implementing more comprehensive data deduplication and compression techniques could optimize storage utilization and reduce backup times, improving overall efficiency."
"It would be good to have some Oracle database backup capability from the Linux OS in the next release."
"The only thing we have encountered that we would like to see improved in the future are error messages. They could be more detailed and helpful, without the need to send logs to support. Failing that, the part of the log related to the error could be displayed alongside the error message, so I can investigate the error without looking through all of those logs that I'm able to download."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"We'd like to see a legacy environment backup, like AIX, etc."
"Compression and data deduplication are okay, but they could be improved."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"Due to the fact that we are HP and Fugit partners as well, it would be nice if Nakivo would allow support for HP and Fugit storage."
