We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veritas Backup Exec 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."
"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."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"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."
"Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."
"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to back up IBM Power virtual servers."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"The product is good in a small environment when looking to a backup on a tape."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"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."
"The system died twice and it was apparently the result of corrupted disk sectors. I tried to work with tech support to fix it, but they essentially gave up. So twice, I had to rebuild our server."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"There were issues with the implementation because of incompatibilities between the tool implementation and our current VMware installation. So, it was an implementation issue that doesn't allow me to use it for VMware backup in the manner in which we would want to use it. That wasn't clear from the evaluation stage nor was it clear from the first utilization of it because it worked in the environment that it was being evaluated in. Based on that, we went ahead and made the purchase of the full implementation. At that point, it became clear that there would be limitations in that implementation that could not be overcome without doing upgrades to the production environment."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"The integration with SaaS applications like Office 365 needs to be improved."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"Doesn't include disaster recovery."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"The pricing could be improved."
"The deduplication feature can be improved."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
