IBM
The outstanding storage capacity, organized security measures, and appropriate business features of IBM Cloud Backup make it something I'd recommend at any time of day or night. Furthermore, the software is online and hence easily accessible from a distance. The application's stability and strength are further assurances that all authorized business users are in safe hands.

Veeam Software
Veeam is our top-tier solution for backing up a handful of old-school physical Windows servers, and it is very good at this. It is also top notch in user-friendly granular file restores and application specific object restores (AD, SQL, etc).

Pricing and how easy it is to use. We use other IBM products in our office and it is nice to have everything on one network. The experience for users and managers is better, even new employees who can learn quickly. It also makes it more affordable for us.

Veeam Software
Veeam is vastly superior. It was the product we vetted and switched to from Cloudberry. CB can perform adequate backups but restores can be challenging and there are a lot of missing features compared to Veeam.
