Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We have leveraged Arcserve [UDP] backups for many years as our sole disaster recovery solution. We are able to offer up-to hourly backups as well as our own home-brewed direct-to-cloud capabilities back to our own data center for our clients, keeping costs incredibly low for enterprise-level features. In all the years we have used Arcserve [UDP] we have never had a failed recovery, reliability and scalability are the names of the game!
Pros and Cons
  • Stability of agents
  • Flexibility (able to load on low-end hardware in a pinch)
  • Reliability of backed up data
Likelihood to Recommend
If I were speaking to a fellow Managed Service Provider, I would likely NOT recommend this product. There are simply too many other tools out there that are better hitting this particular market. And the pain points that we do have with them are especially difficult because of our business model. However in speaking to pretty much anyone else in IT/Disaster Recovery this is an enterprise tool built to handle anything you throw at it. UNC paths and linking backup servers to one another, the flexibility of the tool allows for maximum cost savings if you build it right.
Most Important Features
  • Replicate to [an] external backup server, core to our [offsite] efforts we can maintain a single backup server in our cloud which our clients can replicate to, everything fully owned by us!
  • Deduplication can get extremely small and compressed. This is assisted in being able to use SSD drives and proprietary compression methods.
Return on Investment
  • We have been able to keep our clients' costs low and add advanced features with no additional overhead for us in licensing.
  • It does however cost us a significant amount of additional technician time to review backups each day compared to other products aimed in our vertical.
Alternatives Considered
Arcserve [UDP] has stood the test of time due to its low cost-to-feature value proposition for our company. We have ultimately decided to move to a more MSP-friendly product in N-Able Backup, but Arcserve [UDP] kept us around for years with their reliable and inexpensive product that delivered above and beyond technologically of their competitors throughout all that time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it to backup our dev, test, and some prod workloads on an on-prem SCSI Dell disk-based backup appliance. It helps reduce the risk of losing information.
Pros and Cons
  • It is reliable and once it is up and running you do not need to worry about it.
  • It is flexible; you can use it to backup on-prem or in the cloud.
  • Backup and DR
Likelihood to Recommend
Midscale infrastructure where a simple and easy to configure and use backup solution is needed to protect workloads on-prem or in the cloud workloads. If you don't want to keep your backups on-prem, you can have them in the cloud.
Return on Investment
  • Reduce risks
  • Increase of governability
  • Cost management
Alternatives Considered
We used to have Veritas but it was never reliable; we had to set it up several times and it just never worked as expected. Arcserve UDP turned out to be easier to set up, manage, very reliable, and their team is always close to the customer. Our local partner has provided excellent support and professional services.
Usability
10
It works great in our infrastructure, we have reduced the risk of losing information at a lower TCO compared to other solutions. The implementation process was precise and fast and upgrades have always been smooth. It delivers what it promises.
Support Rating
10
We work with a local partner. The implementation was very smooth; they have helped us upgraded when needed and they have always answered our questions and provided support. We have not needed professional services from Ascserv (they have always been very close to us though) because our partner has always been able to help.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Arcserve UDP as our primary business back-up for files, emails, and various databases. We have two Arcserve 7200 appliances that replicate a copy of all our backups. One kept off-site to ensure redundancy; both are managed through a single console and are connected via our corporate VPN.
Pros and Cons
  • Setup - was really easy to set it up and get started
  • Speed - incremental backups are fast
  • Deduplication - seriously good at reducing the amount of data stored and replicated
  • Simple interface - really easy to use and monitor.
Likelihood to Recommend
Well, in the first month we had the box up and running a SQL database server died, we restored full functionality in less than a day--Arcserve UDP probably saved my job too so that's a plus. Arcserve UDP is really good with granular email restore, the built-in tool is superb. The particular appliance we have may not be suitable for larger environments, due to its storage size, but it has worked for us for about 4 years, and we expect to get at least one more out of it before we outgrow it, which is what we expected. Most of the time, it's set and forget; rarely does it give me any troubles. It runs, and I know I can do restores quickly as needed. It makes my life as a network admin much easier, as it's one less thing I have to worry about.
Return on Investment
  • Saved our bacon on one occasion restoring a business critical CRM SQL database
  • Granular Email restore a massive boon
Alternatives Considered
Barracuda was way too slow--I really liked their cloud console, but the backups took forever, never even got to try a restore as our trial period ran out before we could get enough backups done to test.
Unitrends was a bit better, but it had a 3rd-party tool for some features (email restore) and that made me uneasy. It was also a bit slower than Arcserve. Arcserve was the fastest overall and had the best deduplication of the three we tested.
Support Rating
8
Pretty good--I haven't actually had to call them much so it's hard to say. The box works well enough and most of my issues have been related to the rest of my network, rather than the appliance itself.
