We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery 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."It was very difficult to find a product that supports Red Hat Virtualization natively and to take a snapshot of the VM or a full backup or a dump from the machine. The option that Vembu proposed, to take the machine as an image, take it from the system, is also good."
"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."
"I can choose a point in time and issue the command to back up and I don't need to go in and restore the last full backup and then apply iteratively, sequentially, all the incrementals... I can pick a point in time and tell it I want to go to that state and it's transparent to me. It happens in the background for me."
"I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"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."
"We are now using it 24/7 because it is serving as an online backup, and very soon, the DR will activated on the product."
"The compression, encryption and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"Maybe they can add some features regarding working with the vCenter cluster to be able to have more power over the cluster overall, not just over a single or specific host. Also, I would like some enhancements in technology for the web interface, e.g., some interactive technologies to advance the interface of Vembu. Although the current interface is very good, maybe they can use more advanced technologies for its web development."
"The API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."
"I don't know if it exists, but it would be helpful to get email notifications when there are issues with the backup. I'm sure it probably exists, but I just don't know how to do it. They also have an Azure proxy feature where you can restore to Azure. It's not really well documented. I think they should document how to do that a little better."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
