We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 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."Because all our servers are hosted on VMware, the VMware backup is the most valuable feature. The integration and backup with VMware are very good."
"The compression, encryption and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff."
"Vembu provides us with a way to instantly recover data. It offers instant data recovery through a local backup server deployed at the customer's site. We can quickly recover data either by copying it back to the main server or if the backup server is powerful enough, we can also directly start a virtual machine from the backup."
"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 all work fine."
"I enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"The tool is easy to use and straightforward regarding restoration and creating backups. It's user-friendly, providing results and sending alerts when something goes wrong."
"The scalability is good."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the scalability and the free license of up to ten VMs."
"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"The setup is very simple. It takes 15 minutes."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"Vembu's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"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 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."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"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."
"Veeam is quite expensive."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"It would be beneficial to implement a mechanism that allows for more efficient input processing, such as recognizing the first capital letter of an email account."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
