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.
"It is easy to configure."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"Instant recovery is the most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"I would recommend it if there is a general case."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The standout feature for us is instant recovery."
"I have been in contact with technical support and they are very good."
"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."
"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."
"It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."
"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."
"A lot of their new technologies are not very good."
"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."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"In the next release, I would like replication directly to the cloud to be included."
"The implementation of the features can be improved. Currently, there is no segregation of duty. Normally, any backup software or client service software is implemented in a way where one person is responsible for the implementation of the server, and one is responsible for the client, but Veeam Backup & Replication is not implemented in that way. Therefore, restores don't work like that. The backup guys have to do the restores, which is not a good thing. Its pricing should also be improved. It is quite expensive."
"The cloud part of it can be improved. There should be an option for Veeam in your own cloud, as compared to the Veeam cloud offering that's currently there. The rest of it is easy."
"The automation could be better."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."
"I cannot recall coming across any features that were lacking."
"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."
"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 ..
