We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veeam Backup & Replication based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I back up one particular server with close to 1.2 TB, and the way the software compresses it is close to 600 or 700 TB. Vembu compresses it to close to 450 gigabytes, that's gigabytes. So that’s really amazing, the way in which the backup compression happens."
"You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."
"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"The main difference I see between Vembu and the other solutions we've tried is that with Vembu, you don't need anybody to tell you what to do. Once you have done the installation you just look at the user interface — it's very friendly — and you can do things yourself without resorting to help from anybody."
"If we do a backup of a machine at some point and the server crashes, then we can restore this machine to a different server with the same settings and setup. We will just have to tweak one or two things, like the IP. Then, it is ready to go."
"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."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"The most valuable feature is adaptability, where it automatically adapts to the environment that it's being installed on."
"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."
"A quick-working solution that is very user friendly."
"Vendor integration for many of the enterprise features have allowed for us to have greater performance from our storage vendors further improving on our commitments to protect our clients' data."
"It's the most easy-to-use backup replication that I have used so far."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"Its performance is fine. It supports us very well. It is able to support our policy for RTO, RPO, and other things that we need."
"It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems. All other vendors let you simply log in to the cloud console and control everything from there, but for Vembu, whether you choose Vembu Cloud Backup or Vembu Disaster Recovery, you still need to install the Vembu software on your on-premise system and configure it from there. It would be great if I can get a cloud console to manage the systems."
"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."
"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."
"The deduplication could be better. It doesn't give the level of deduplication that I would get with a product that's stored in a more standard file format. I would prefer to be able to use a non-deduplicated store on a third-party deduplicated medium."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"Veeam is good up until 300 VMs."
"They need full cloud integration such that an on-premises backup can be offloaded to the cloud for storage."
"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."
"The tech support could be better."
"The endpoint protection console is not centralized."
"The tech support needs improvement."
"Recovery speed is slow. Full recovery on large machines (1TB+) takes too long"
"In the next release I would like to see a bit more intelligence as far as a solution or troubleshooting - to put it more on the level of resolution and not simply identifying there is a problem."
