Cons
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good.""I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those.""In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution.""They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it.""We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information.""Backups are very slow and time consuming.""Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup.""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."

More Arcserve UDP Cons →

"More licensing options could be introduced to the software. It is currently based on capacity only. Compared to competitors, it is difficult to position it economically everywhere. From the usability point of view, they are making many improvements on new interfaces, the SaaS offering, etc.""The solution could improve by providing more integration and security.""The only drawback for NetBackup, and of course for Veritas, is that they have stuck to the same environment and to the same UI - User Interface. This needs to be improved in future releases. It needs to be more dynamic.""The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation.""Technical support for this solution needs to be improved.""Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement.""The installation is cumbersome.""The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."

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

  • "There is an annual license required for this solution and it is priced well."
  • "Pricing is most likely comparable."
