Verified User Professional Chose Arcserve Backup We use Veeam Backup and Replication at our larger sites where Vmware Virtualization is being used and is our product of choice in this venue. When it comes to our smaller sites, nothing is more affordable and reliable than Arcserve Backup. Incentivized Helpful? Rob Bates Public & Private Cloud Senior Engineer Chose Arcserve Backup To be succinct, we have used Veeam B&R for a number of years, against our VM environment, and we have yet to find anything that tops it. However, if you have physical machines in your environment still, then Arcserve is a great option, especially for the replication aspect. Incentivized Helpful?

Pros	Arcserve Arcserve Backup has many offerings to fit many business sizes and needs. It offers excellent features like dedupe, high availability, DR, and BMR. Arcserve Backup sales and technical support is good to work with. Very nice reseller program and benefits. Incentivized Robert Guy IT Analyst II Read full review
Cons	Arcserve Has a steep learning curve to the product, if not experienced in backup solutions. Windows backup and restore functionality is excellent, however, we have found Linux somewhat lacking. Incentivized Rob Bates Public & Private Cloud Senior Engineer Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Arcserve Arcserve UDP provides our organization lots of benefits and it is much more than a simple backup and restore solution. We use it for cross platform DR, storage agnostic replications, DR solution instead of VMware SRM and more. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Arcserve Arcserve Backup support is usually very good. Their chat is usually able to fix most general issues, but will escalate more in depth issues to technical engineers that call you back. Their product knowledge is really good and usually resolve issues promptly. Incentivized Robert Guy IT Analyst II Read full review

Return on Investment	Arcserve Deploying Arcserve UDP with the "copy-to-tape" option allowed us to reuse well over 50 LTO5 tapes used by our previous backup solution. Further, we extended data retention on site (maintaining monthly backups on disk) as well as extending off site data retention on tape. Jerry Shakal Senior Systems Administrator Read full review
