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 very stable."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The most valuable feature is the duplication."
"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's deployment process was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are that it is able to restore quickly and that it is able to virtually restore on Hyper-V."

"The fast backup and restore feature is the most valuable."
"It's very easy to work with and it's very reliable."

"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"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."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."

"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"The initial setup is not always easy, and customers often need a lot of help to get Veeam up and running successfully."
"When you have some small issues, you should be able to go through it by yourself and solve the issue instead of opening the ticket and waiting for the engineers to troubleshoot."
"There should be better use of the external hard drives."
"The interface and cluster environments could be improved in the future as presently they are using agent interface instead of user interface. Also, the backup for the Oracle WAC environment can be improved."
"Veeam Backup & Replication should include a cloud solution."
"Additional executive summary reports for the entire infrastructure would be a nice to have."
"They have an integration with MS SQL, and you have to license MS SQL. This is something they need to change. They should go for an open-source database or a free SQL because you're already buying this product, and you shouldn't have to buy another product."

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 ..
