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.
"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."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"The most valuable feature is that I can back up the whole machine and then restore it relatively fast."
"Most of the features that we can use with HPE products are directly integrated with the Veeam. This is very important for the customers to have only one pane of glass to manage the backups and also use the HPE products for the backups."
"A simple and stable solution for small businesses that use virtualization."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"In terms of most valuable features, we are mostly using the Cloud Connect feature. It is flexible because you can use it on-prem and on cloud."
"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"From my experience, Veeam is very good. Its interface is user-friendly. We can restore it whenever. It's not complicated. It's very easy to manage and administration is very easy."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"The pricing could be better."
"The tech support could be better."
"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"The physical server backups and direct storage connectivity need improvement."
"The automation could be better."
"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."
"The VMotion feature is not reliable enough to ensure a successful migration operation."

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 ..
