We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is easy and very nice."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"The agentless backups are the big selling point on this, as well as being able to send out across sites so that I can do a restore at either of our two locations."
"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."
"The best thing about it is that it has been adaptable to our business model. We are in industrial networking, and they were adaptable to give us offline installers and offline licenses. That has been the biggest thing. They also allow us to order the licenses on a perpetual basis."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"I enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."
"The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."
"RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"I have not been impressed by the data compression of the backup images. They seem to take up nearly as much space on the backup drive as they do on the server."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"It is very easy, unless you know exactly what you're doing, to corrupt the virtual machines and they get locked up. Just brief detail: When you are creating a system, if you don't have absolutely every other little background processes in place, it creates Snapshots of the virtual machines. Once it does that, it then won't be able to have a backup. From that point on you have to destroy the virtual machine, which is completely counterproductive on a large system. There is a fundamental flaw in the setup that can be very dangerous, potentially."
"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."
"Vembu will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."
"The interface could be better because I have to fumble around to find things. I can't just sit down at the terminal and know exactly what to do. It could be just me, but I have used a number of different backup products, and I found them simpler. However, its features are very good, so I don't mind sacrificing a bit of extra time to do what I need."
"The response time of the support could be improved a little bit. Sometimes, I need to wait for two or three hours to get support. With VMware, we can get urgent support in an hour. Other than that, I'm pretty good with BDRSuite."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data."
"The solution is not easy to use. It's actually quite hard. If it could be simplified it might be better for the end user."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line."
"It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases."
"I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
