We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Rubrik 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."The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."
"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"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."
"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."
"They can work on their cloud solution. In these days, the data becomes too much and you have to back up a lot of data to the site. They could offer cheaper storage to their clients with the cloud, making this a single source of truth solution. In our project, we are using two service providers: One who offers our storage and another who offers the software. If they work on their cloud solution and can offer their clients lower prices for this type of storage, this would be a really good improvement."
"There was one issue though with the hardware IDs. When I went to a different version of Hyper-V, the hardware IDs weren't restored and the machine got two new IDs. The preliminary unique IDs weren't restored, so I had to reactivate programs."
"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."
"One thing that I reported with the backups: When there are accentuated characters in a path, then we can't restore documents into a folder. There is a bug with the restoration and restoring files with accentuated characters in the path. Hopefully, they have repaired this because otherwise we will restore files and find out that they are not there."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"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."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
