IT Manager Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/25/2019 "Gave me the power of a SAN replication, without the price of a SAN" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Arcserve UDP? Utilizing the block level backup features, encrypting while transferring, and day-to-day replication with ease. Installation was a breeze, fired up the nodes and backup plans quickly. SLA profiles was a breeze, along with the general task driven data planning of backup, incremental, full. The ability to kick-start to a remote RDS - was a huge task, but now able top replicate daily in under 30 minutes. Holding 3-6 months of recoverable data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcserve UDP? License management when upgrading from 6.5 to 7 under contract. Have had to reactivate 3x now! Outside of that, it has been a reliable backup solution. Upgrading was otherwise simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Arcserve UDP: If you are looking for a simplex licensing model per-core, heavy on VMWare or Hyper V - but can't quite justify Veeam - this is a solid solution for DR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcserve UDP solving and how is that benefiting you? We have physical storage, local storage- migrating and creating a on-the-fly DR plan was a challenge with other products. Ideally, wanted a SAN structure to replicate day-to-day incremental changes offsite over WAN. ArcServe gave us the ability with a competitive pricing - Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I can highlight something, it is that it works fast and very well. Additionally, the final space occupied by the backups after deduplication is negligible compared to the total volume of information to be backed up. I also have to highlight the ability to virtually restore a failed machine within the UDP itself. The ability to replicate between 2 UDP Appliances in different geographical locations very easily is an ideal solution to not worry about disasters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcserve UDP? Something that doesn't quite convince me is the construction of some custom reports. In my opinion, this is the part I would improve in case the default reports are not useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Arcserve UDP: For IT managers looking to definitively resolve the tasks of safeguarding corporate information by implementing a Disaster Recovery solution, I think it is a very good solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcserve UDP solving and how is that benefiting you? Previously, we had another backup system. After switching to Arcserve UDP, the first thing we noticed is a lot of reliability, in addition to not needing huge amounts of space to back up our entire organization. We have a hybrid corporate email environment, and it allows us to back up all Exchange online and on-premises mailboxes without any additional licenses. The ability to spin up virtual machines from backups on the UDP appliance is wonderful for getting by in an emergency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ARCSERVE...I use it since 10 years ago and I've never changed it for another solution because until now I've not found any other software that can compete with it. It's simple, efficient and his processes do what they are made to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcserve UDP? Yes, there is only a point that I can describe with light negative words...it's the managing of his DataBase...in the past with the VLDB (old DB format), manage the DB was a horror story. Now, migrating to SQL DB, it's quite simple but hard to contain his growth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Arcserve UDP: In one of my previous job experience, the slogan of a Company was "truth well told", and we can apply to ARCSERVE Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Arcserve UDP solving and how is that benefiting you? Fast restore and recover point. The data backuped are immediately available to solve the user requests or to solve any other kind of incident that my company has had in the past years. With a new colleague, I've made an Arcserve competition handover, because we've decided that he will be the new Backup Administrator. He has immediately understood the ARCSERVe functionalities, and he started immediately to manage it. So very simple to manage and, as already written, do what it is made to do.

The recovery process is easy and we always get good backups. Excellent value for the price. Other products can do more, but not at this price.

The simplicity of being able to recover VMs with just a click, and the reporting and dashboard that show that our systems are fully backed up and protected. Also, excellent compression means we are able to store significant quantities of backups and data using just a small amount of storage. We likely will be backing up our data to a cloud storage (also built in) within the year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Arcserve UDP? The inability to do a cloud backup while also doing mirror backups to a secondary device. In an ideal world, I’d prefer to have all backups from the primary UDP go to our secondary UDP appliance and also to the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
