We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and NAKIVO 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."When you're looking at your dashboard, you can see all your active jobs. You can see exactly if they're successful or failed and you can actually drill down and see what caused the problem. The fact you can see that right away is nice."
"The most useful feature is that you can back up the virtual machines in different ways. You can back up from a vhost, and you can also back up from a Windows server. It doesn't matter what type of infrastructure or hypervisor is there. It's very flexible, which is its most useful feature for us."
"The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"I get my backups done."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"The updates are problem-free, so we can keep Nakivo up to date on the server and NAS too."
"I could install and configure the trial version in maybe half an hour and had a successful backup of our file server on the same night."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"The solution has a user-friendly interface and is easy to configure."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"The automatic backup and replication features are invaluable, saving us time and resources by automating routine backup tasks and ensuring data protection without manual intervention."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"It would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed IT service provider, so we're backing up not just our own systems but all our clients'. In that regard, as we grow, we're putting business through Vembu. There is not any specific partner incentive at all. So that would be nice to see."
"The reports are at a basic level and there is room for improvement there. It only has historical reports and VM backup job-level reports."
"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 reporting can use some improvement. I still use the old StoreGrid Cloud while I'm migrating the rest of my clients over. I am able to export all of my clients' usage for the month, which I then import into my billing program. It helps me speed up the billing process. Also, I can generate a report that gives me statuses of everyone's backup, which I don't get from Vembu Backup Online either. I would like to have something similar where I can export everyone's usage at any time for all their backups, so I can use that to import them to my billing program."
"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."
"For us, it would be best to improve the speed of the backup instead of adding new features."
"Using an independent bootable media to restore full physical machines would enable physical machines that may be serving as Nakivo Director or Transport machines to be reliably restored to service without undue delay, ensuring that an enterprise's local environment remains intact."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"In the future, I would like to see support for backing up data to more cloud platforms, besides Amazon."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
