| Considered Both Products | Chose Arctera Backup Exec I chose Veritas Backup Exec for my clients Windows Servers about 15 to 20 years ago because that was the ONLY backup software available at the time. Since then, [I feel] the software has gotten bloated, unreliable and cluttered. Veeam Backup & Replication is much more … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec We moved away from Unitrends for one reason only. Pricing. Unitrends continued to raise their pricing and renewal fees where we were no longer able to afford it.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec We did look at several backup solutions when we implemented VMWare. I might be a little prejudiced because I've used the product so long, but there are many competitors in this market, and the cost was much higher to obtain the same functionality as we get with Veritas Backup … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec Essentially we chose Backup Exec because we were familiar with it's config and interface. Both Acronis and Arcserve provided the same or similar features, but came in at a higher price. We also looked at hosted backup services and found them extremely expensive. We adopted … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec Backup Exec (when it was still under the Symantec umbrella) used to offer a backup appliance for local-cloud backup. It was expensive. I don't think they offer it anymore. In any case we wanted to engage such a solution and have been using Barracuda Backup for several years. It … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec Symantec and Acronis are well matched, but Symantec is more flexible in designing jobs. Acronis creates images that are mountable whereas Symantec creates backup files that can be restored quickly and easily. Barracuda and Datto are "total data storage" backup options and … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec Veeam is by far superior to Backup Exec in the virtual, SQL, AD, Exchange, and Physical Environments. The way they interact with the Virtual Servers is more streamlined and generates better results. They also support more file system such as AIX and XFS for backup and … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec SBE is much better for onsite backups as Carbonite is Cloud based and if you have no network connection to your server there is no way to get files backed up or back online. This is why we went with SBE to handle our tape backups on a daily bases and keep server backed with a … Independently Invited by TrustRadius A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time.

More Info Chose Arctera Backup Exec Sorry but Veeam stacks up against Backup Exec. Backup Exec has a million of options, Veeam is clean and more easy to configure and use. Right now I can't recommend Backup Exec, but I hope in the next years I can come back and say something positive.
