Arcserve UDP vs StorageCraft ShadowXafe [EOL] comparison

"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

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

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

"It allows us to back up all the servers and centrally manage them."

"The interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."

"I like the tool's speed."

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

"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."

"The most valuable feature is the backups."

"I like that they have some new devices that are simpler to use because they kind of tie right into the cloud."

"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."

"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."

"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

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

"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."

"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."

"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."

"Their restoration protocols could be better. I pulled all my clients out of their cloud mostly because I wasn't confident that they could restore out of the cloud. This was backed up by friends who had been burned by stuff like that. We moved away because of the lack of resources to restore from a potential catastrophic failure. It's challenging, and in some cases, they couldn't do it because they didn't have enough resources. For example, if there was a major disaster, and everybody needed their images out of the cloud, they couldn't give them to everybody."

"StorageCraft ShadowXafe should improve the on-premises console management controls and protection and recovery."

"The price is based on the number of sockets. We use a four-socket price that includes two servers and the cost is $4,375."

"We only have the maintenance of three standard UDP licenses. Each license is 50 Euro. There are some additional costs for the storage and software but it has nothing to do with the UDP."

"In comparison to other vendors, it is a low-cost solution."

"Pricing is most likely comparable."

"The solution is expensive."

"I feel that the product is fairly priced."

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

"Its price seems reasonable. Its price is average as compared to the other products I've looked at. We have a three-year license right now. There are no other costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"They are more expensive than some of the others out there. We have gone away from their cloud due to pricing."
