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 product's deployment process was straightforward."
"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."
"One of the things that I do like about it is that it has a very good deduplication feature."
"We are satisfied with Arcserve UDP. The most important feature that we use and why we choose this product is the RHA feature."
"I like the tool's speed."
"The product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"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."
"Veeam Backup Replication is stable I have not had any problems."
"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."
"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."
"It helps with process restoration. With Veeam, we never had backup or restoration issues."
"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's file monitoring capabilities are strong and consistent."
"The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good."
"One of the biggest drawbacks of Arcserve UDP is that it does not have a single console, making it an area that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"They could work on their marketing approach. I don't see many people leveraging it."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"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."
"They need to improve their technical side."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"Physical backup is always where room for improvement could be but Veeam has always stated they are not going in that direction."
"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"There is always some room for improvement, especially with some of the different technologies such as DB2. Commvault has a DB2 agent, but Veeam still doesn't have it. We have to use the universal one for it."
"I think Veeam needs to improve the file installation process, as well as more technical things like snapping feature issues. Sometimes during backup, when it's taking the scan snaps on the ESXi, it started and didn't remove the snapshot from there, which consumed storage on the EXSi. It could be improved with more technical depth. The response time for Veeam's technical support could also 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 ..
