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."Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."
"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."
"I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"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."
"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data."
"One of the standout features of Dell RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines is its real-time data protection capability."
"Continuous replication with lower RTO and RPO is the most innovative feature. Its tight integration with VMware for VMware VMs is also valuable."
"The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure."
"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site."
"Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable."
"The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes."
"It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"What I would love to see on the dashboard are graphs, per backup job. I want to see the month and the days in it... If a job has failed, when did it actually fail and what percentage of it failed? Did it fail completely, 75 percent or 100 percent or did it only fail partially?"
"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release."
"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."
"It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."
"The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected."
