There really is not a comparison. Veeam is one of the only products that we have ever found to be just as good or better than was advertised. I would recommend it to anyone.

Veeam Backup for AWS was easy to use and the GUI was much familiar since the Veeam backup was already used to backup different workloads such as File servers , virtual machine and SQL servers, Client was happy with the negotiations done with the Sales person from Veeam and hence the Veeam Backup for AWS was selected

It's hard to manage and maintain, and there is no integration with on-prem tooling. There is very poor support and lower effort on external integration. I feel like I should use an open-source solution while paying for an enterprise product. There is tricky debugging in case of problems, and some operations still need manual workarounds to be achieved. I need to improve, but I feel the product owner has no clue about backup lifecycle needs and behavior.

The cost has been better that other cloud storage options. Also, the flexibility to run on various hardware and flexibility to store in various locations has been a big selling point. Unitrends was easier to setup and manage as hardware was included. But, with knowledgeable staff, I'm able to manage this backup environment better than ever now.

I like the intuitive interface and the flexible aspects of the software, which combine into a powerful yet cost-effective tool that my staff can understand and utilize to manage our backup and restore environment.

Our client has been satisfied with Veeam Backup for AWS until now. We did evaluate Rubrik but felt that Veeam Backup for AWS was superior as we had used Veeam Backup before. Rubrik probably works well for multi-cloud, hybrid environments, hypervisors, etc., but I guess the difference between the two is not too much.

I was a former user of Veritas Backup Exec, even before Veritas was acquired by Symantec. At that time, we were only running physical servers and backing up to tape. Things have come a very long way since then, and Veritas has not kept up. The software itself was cumbersome, the backups were not reliable, and the restore operations were a miracle if they worked. That was essentially the worst-case scenario when it comes to reliable backups. Veaam Backup for AWS fixed all of those issues from the first day we started using it; the setup was a breeze, it has worked flawlessly since that first day, and I can always rely on it to perform restore operations.
