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."The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"The initial setup is easy and very nice."
"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 Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud."
"The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"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 is a stable solution."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"It has got all the features. You can restore a mailbox based on an email or a calendar or based on all the emails. A user can also get access to restore the mailbox."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"The scalability is good."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."
"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."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"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."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"The only place where I would really want to see improvement, out the gate, is more granular scheduling... If I want to do an offset or to only do two backups on Friday and Saturday - versus whole hourly incrementals during the week - I don't have that granularity right now."
"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."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"The solution should have backup integration features, not just concerning mail but also when it comes to such solutions as SharePoint."
"It's hard to predict the usage on the storage. I need to make some estimates for customers in terms of how much storage will be needed on the cloud, and this is always tricky. It would be helpful if they could help us estimate storage or simplify the estimation portion."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"The solution is costly."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
