Product Summary
Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UPD) offers enterprises data protection and disaster recovery. With its backup functionalities, it can help prevent data loss. This solution also protects IT environments from security threats such as ransomware. Arcserve allows IT administrators to manage all backups from a single cloud-based or private console.
Use Cases
- Backup and recovery:
Arcserve’s ransomware data recovery feature allows technicians to recover systems and data quickly, reducing downtime and preventing loss of data. - Disaster recovery:

Shortcomings

Users have complained of licensing errors preventing backups from being made. - Stability issues:
Connections with the server or the agents can be lost, which leads to backup failures. - Challenging interface:
Many users have complained that the GUI struggles to work on some browsers and OS. The interface is also outdated and difficult to navigate.
