We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Veeam Backup & Replication based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: The main difference between the two products is that Veeam users say the pricing is high. In this comparison, Arcserve UDP comes out on top.
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"There are many backup options available in this solution. For example, you are able to do backups of servers, email, OST files, and users. This is a complete backup solution which is very good."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The most valuable feature is how reliable Veeam Backup is. It has the normal expected features that allow you to ensure that everything is backed up completely."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"I have found the most valuable feature to be the new CDP features. It is very popular for my customer's needs."
"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"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."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"The initial setup was complex."
"The pricing could be better."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"The initial setup is complex."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"It would be preferable if they could introduce a complete Linux version instead of relying solely on Microsoft for management. There should be a unified integration of all their products. Currently, there are various products like cloud backup and others that exist separately. It would be better if they could create a single comprehensive platform or product, as opposed to having disparate products that lack proper communication between them."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."

Hi!
I can send you comparision documents if you would like but as Kevin mentioned, first it is good to know the exact needs and specification you or your company expects from Backup solution.
Kind regards

I can only vouch for Veeam which we use in a 100% virtualised environment. for us it's perfect, we run backup locally and replication to a remote datacentre. we can recover individual files or whole VM's. we can spin up recovered VM's in a sandbox environment. we've just started to play with restore to Azure as well. licencing in on a per host basis, we use it for both VMware and Hyper-V vm's. I hope this is of some help to you?
I second Kevin's remark. It is almost impossible to compare various backup solutions without knowing your environment. Are you backing up exclusively Windows, Windows and Linux, do you have Novell, minicomputer and the list goes on. Why type of backup hardware are you using, WORM, Tape Drive, Tape Autochanger..... And I have not even touched the functions you want the backup to do.
The field about Backup is very big , I am a partner from Acronis , and Acronis has many advantage ,over others tecnology , but in specifics skills , another Marks have theirs improvement skills too , you must specific about what ? Virtualization,storage,management,recovery virtual to physical ? is a lot information to say ..
