    Considered Both Products

    Chose Arcserve ShadowProtect

    Veeam Software
    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Good, it backs up linux where shadowprotect does not. ShadowProtect is less expensive so we keep it as well.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is much more robust than ShadowProtect, while also fitting the budget requirements for some very small environments that previously used CloudBerry. We think this is pretty impressive to have both breadth and depth and maintain reasonable price points to keep on budget. …

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Datto is the easiest, but it's quite expensive.
    Shadowprotect used to be good, but SPX isn't very good at all.

    Chose Veeam Data Platform

    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam Backup & Replication Community Edition blows all of these out of water. It's Enterprise Edition has exhaustive features, and the monthly subscription rate is reasonable.
    Incentivized
    Chose Veeam Data Platform
    Veeam is easier to use and requires less management overhead.
