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.
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is live replication."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."

"Good compression when storing data."
"It is cost-effective. A lot of times, people pick Veeam because of its price."
"The initial setup is simple to do in Veeam Backup Replication."
"My customers find the backup and recovery ease of use is the most beneficial feature."
"The encryption password is used to protect the backup files. Even if someone gains access to the backup job or files, they won't be able to utilize them without the password."
"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."
"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."

"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"I have a problem with the VM. When we started doing a backup, it takes a snapshot for our virtual machines, but when we try it two or three times, in some cases, our virtual machines go to a consolidated state. I don't know why this problem happens. But I still think Veeam is a top-ranking solution."
"I would like to see the Veeam cloud solution and Microsoft Office 365 included all in one platform."
"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"The data duplication should be improved."
"I would like to see the licensing model improved. They have recently changed the model and have made it more complicated."

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 ..
