    Considered Both Products
    Bacula Systems
    Chose Bacula Enterprise
    Bacula cost-benefit ratio is better than all the others, as in addition to having many more integrations with operating systems and hypervisors, it is not necessary to purchase more licenses for backups such as NAS, File to Tape, Cloud, etc.

    Chose Bacula Enterprise

    Chose Bacula Enterprise
    Veeam Backup & Replication is easy to use and powerful, but I really didn't like that it's closed-source (Bacula Enterprise is open source--you pay for support), so I have no way of looking into what it's doing. Veeam only runs on Windows, and is more focused on VMs; our …

    Chose Bacula Enterprise

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam Data Platform offered a better, easier to use product at a significant cost reduction than Bacula Enterprise. Bacula was almost 5 times the cost of Veeam Data Platform and, having now used both in my career, Veeam Data Platform is absolutely the better product in terms …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    We were actually using the open-source version of Bacula. We switched because with Veeam Data Platform we could do full VM backups, and it was easier to train new staff on the backup procedure. However, Bacula did a great job for what it was and saved us money.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    We have supported and used Veeam with our clients, so the solution definitely had an advantage over all of them except Tivoli. But, the [ease of] deployment really got our hearts. Did I mention we spent only 6 hours deploying it, whereas Nakivo took us 2 days to just understand …
