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.
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The solution has no limitations because it does backup for Linux and Windows."
"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 easy to configure."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"In Veeam backup, the most valuable feature for me is the recovery. It allows me to recover almost immediately while I continue fixing the problem of the affected machine."
"Veeam Backup Replication's snapshotting and cloning are the most valuable features."
"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 quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"We have evaluated other solutions but Veeam is the best for virtualization."
"The replication feature has proven to be the most valuable feature for us."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the recuperation of the weaker machines."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"The technical support of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."
"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined."
"When in a domain, the virus can easily attack the Veeam server, something which happened to us."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"It would be beneficial to have enhanced solutions for database backup, particularly for Oracle databases in the context of SAP systems."
"In Linux, I suggest you backup for a PostgreSQL database."
"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."
"The remote SQL server has had multiple sizing issues within the logs and SQL backup space and sharing with other database apps."

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 ..
