Has improved data reliability while requiring better pricing and localized support
The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important. I use other products too, not only Arcserve OneXafe; we use TrueNAS as well. I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature. It helps my storage efficiency significantly. The product satisfaction with this product helps with storage efficiency. Regarding Arcserve OneXafe's immutable object storage helping against ransomware, the call was not clear, and I had difficulty listening to what was discussed. Arcserve OneXafe improves precision of data. I have used Arcserve OneXafe's continuous data protection. This is beneficial for operational continuity because we use it constantly. I have no objections to Arcserve OneXafe technology; I think that is very good.

Backup operations have become reliable and reporting now simplifies hybrid cloud protection
Veeam Data Platform has Veeam Enterprise Manager as well as Veeam ONE as valuable features, which allow us to generate various kinds of reports that are required for the customer. Instant VM Recovery is a good feature of the high-speed recovery features in Veeam Data Platform, and Continuous Data Protection (CDP) is also a good feature. Ransomware protection is a good feature added in Veeam Data Platform from version 12 onwards, and the ability to create immutable repositories is also a good feature in Veeam. The analytics part of Veeam Data Platform is a good solution because I have worked on various backup technologies such as EMC NetWorker and NetBackup. However, I have not used the analytical parts currently but will check it out. Streamlining processes as well as saving money are benefits that Veeam Data Platform provides for the end user, as it allows for application-aware backups and database backups without the need for various kinds of licenses that other backup software requires. Veeam offers socket-based licenses, instance-based licenses, and capacity-based licenses, which is a great feature.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable features of Arcserve OneXafe are improving persistent data, which I believe is very important, and I have utilized Arcserve OneXafe's data deduplication feature, which helps my storage efficiency significantly."
"The simplicity and the ability to perform small backups are the most effective features for data protection in Arcserve OneXafe."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The solution is extremely user-friendly."
"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."
"The most valuable features of Veeam ONE are the backup reports, such as the status of the storage."
"It is a rock-solid backup solution. That's all, and that's what we were asking for."
"Just recently, I retired Backup Exec, and added Veeam v8. This increased the backup scope by 30% and reduced tape usage by 70%."
"Veeam Backup Replication is an almost flawless product, and I'm pretty satisfied with the way Veeam is developing their product at a rapid growth rate while maintaining the stability of the software and its simplicity and flexibility as well."
"The pricing of the solution is fair."
 

Cons

"The price is not the best; it is too high. It's not the best solution in terms of price, although the solution itself is good."
"The price is not the best; it is too high."
"Arcserve OneXafe is not used in many cases in the market that we work in."
"We had one problem once with the network."
"I am looking for the ability to: Backup physical machines Backup exchange mailboxes and retrieve a message in a mailbox Backup SQL servers and retrieve a record in a table Backup the Active Directory and retrieve a single object"
"Cross-hypervisor replication can be improved."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"The initial setup could be simplified. It takes some time to get through the knowledge base and the changes in the versions over time."
"The software really needs to expand into physical machines backups."
"I think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"It's sometimes difficult identifying the resources for backup and I think that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't pay for the solution, so I can't comment on the cost."
"The product is competitively priced."
"I don't know what the costs are for sure, but I think that it's on a yearly basis."
"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
"I consider that the product's price falls under the middle range category."
"The license subscription could be more straightforward."
"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."
"It's an extremely cost-effective solution."

VMware SRM vs. Veeam vs. Zerto
