Veeam, in our opinion, stands taller than Acronis in functionality. While they both have a very similar setup we found that Acronis just didn't perform backup or restore jobs as quickly as Veeam. The NAS storage options were configured the same for both software applications and Veeam simply outperformed Acronis in every area.

  • NAKIVO Backup & Replication
Comparing the consoles, Veeam Backup & Replication, we feel, has a better UI--more logical. The creation of jobs is "select and click next" on both tools but Veeam has more options regarding the backup job. They are visually different but we feel that Veeam is more logical than Nakivo. The placement of menu items is better in Veeam than Nakivo, but Nakivo uses a browser for presentation while Veeam is a Windows app, so the UI is different for both tools. Both products do the job and do it right. On the storage side, the directories and names used by Veeam have more meaning in contrast to Nakivo, which uses names like serial numbers.

I've also used a cloud-based backup system written by Datasoft however this was a low-volume system designed for single servers or desktops. As for Backup Exec, I much prefer Veeam for the user interface and the ease of management.

Prior to going with Veeam Backup & Replication, we used Backup Exec to backup up our VMs and data files to tape. The big difference between those two has been the ability of Veeam Backup & Replication to back up to disk first then copy those backups to tape giving us both the ability to take backups off-site and keep local copies of backups to more quickly restore as needed. We considered the possibility of staying with Backup Exec but found that the majority of organizations I spoke with recommended Veeam Backup & Replication as a more robust and full-featured options. Veeam Backup & Replication is slightly more expensive that Backup Exec though I think it is worth the extra cost.

We used Zerto and CA Arcserve to address these needs without migrating to Veeam Backup & Replication. Zerto is a very successful instant backup and we are still using it now. It does what Veeam application cannot do in instant replication. CA Arcserve, on the other hand, is clearly lagging behind the Veeam Backup & Replication product and does not meet today's requirements.

Previously we only used the standard built-in backup features of Microsoft Windows Server. It was ugly. So we started researching for a solution that met our requirements. Of course, we started with the famous names. The first of them was Veeam Backup & Replication. It's fully met our expectations and we have stopped researching. We believe in love at first sight. If the product or solution is doing all that you need it to that means that it's not necessary to spend your time with further searches.

We used to use Backup Exec before we starting using VMware. However, once we started to virtualize our environment, we could no longer use a product that was not built from the ground up for virtualizing. Veeam has so many more options than Backup Exec has and we know our restores will work. We also don't have to worry about if the user interface will change every version.

Before using Veeam Backup & Replication, we tried other backup and restore software and tools. Veeam Backup & Replication stacks up against them for being more user friendly, quicker on backup and restore tools, creating more detailed reports, and simpler to replicate jobs around the infrastructure.
