RM Ralph M. IT Support Technician Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/27/2020 "Great appliance and easy GUI" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Arcserve UDP? The GUI is really intuitive and easy to follow the flow of the console to create backup plans and ensure data integrity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcserve UDP? sometimes there is more than one way to restore a file and there are vastly different results and speed of restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcserve UDP solving and how is that benefiting you? setting up remote working during lockdown and the "new normal" - we have P2V'd a number of key workers machines onto onsite servers and then given VPN and RDP access to the remote workers who then use home internet. This then means that the hard, data intensive I/O commands are being done ONSITE and the user only transmits their RDP commands over their slow broadband. It has been a real lifesaver when data heavy operations like finance/Sage/Graphic design is being done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
