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."The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."
"I get my backups done."
"The best thing about it is that it has been adaptable to our business model. We are in industrial networking, and they were adaptable to give us offline installers and offline licenses. That has been the biggest thing. They also allow us to order the licenses on a perpetual basis."
"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."
"It's easy to restore."
"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."
"The most valuable feature is the ability, from a console, to manage the different computers to be backed up."
"All in all, NAKIVO helped us save a lot of time."
"The price is much lower than competitors that do the same function."
"It is fast, simple, powerful, and has a price without competition."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"The solution is stable; there is no need to retry any sort of jobs in daily operations."
"The product is very scalable, robust, has an easy setup with a short-duration deployment and good technical support."
"Nakivo is an easy-to-use, robust and cost-effective backup solution. I highly recommend it."
"We spend less time to get data recovered."
"They need to improve their marketing because not many people are aware of it. People ask me what is Vembu, and I have to explain to them it is a good tool for backup and other things."
"There are some limitation in Vembu that can be improved. When you take the backup from any server, the full incremental backup is limited. For example, if you run a weekly full backup and monthly backup, they cannot be run at the same time. I should not have to create a new job, but in this scenario, I am creating two jobs. The limitation is created because if I select monthly backup, then I cannot select weekly backup."
"We had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."
"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."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"An improvement would be to include a general data backup solution that is not only for virtual machines."
"Updating VM Tools on a replicated VM could be better."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"Space is always an issue."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"While the solution provides mostly what we need, it would be ideal if there were some additional feature capabilities for the API."
"The product needs to improve backup speed and replication speed."
"In the future, the solution should provide a more granular backup."
