We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect and BDRSuite 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."For my first experience, it is the best software for backups, especially for a five-system backup."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"From my perspective, the most valuable features in Acronis Cyber Protect include ransomware protection and antivirus. These features not only add significant value but also play a crucial role in closing deals. When selling backup for Microsoft 365, these security features, like ransomware protection and antivirus, serve as a starting point to offer backup and protection."
"Stability is always good. I have used Acronis for 10 years now, if not more. I have never had a problem with availability, etc."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"It is a very fast and reliable backup, which requires less management and restores quickly."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"It helps me with restores. I can repeat a test multiple times: Do the test, the restore, and then test again. It saves me time because I don't have to rebuild the VMs every time."
"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."
"The agentless backups are the big selling point on this, as well as being able to send out across sites so that I can do a restore at either of our two locations."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"Acronis Backup isn't scalable at all."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The product needs to have a simple DR process."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"No technical support and minimal documentation."
"A little bit more integration would be good. It should support broader platforms."
"I would like to see better centralized management, because I use it across multiple clients. To have a console that centrally manages them would be nice."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"Vembu software runs on a Windows Server. The Windows Server has to be connected to the internet so it can connect with Vembu’s servers. It has to connect with Vembu. For some reason, if it doesn't connect, it stops working, and I don't know why on earth they do that. They require it to connect to the internet and connect with Vembu for it to continue to function. If the internet is down or if the server can't reach the internet, it stops working after a few days. That's not great because there are some people who want to do backups but they don't want to have their server accessible on the internet."
"There are bugs. For one month, I encountered a big issue where my storage pool could not be identified. My backups were stopped because they were not able to locate the storage pool. So, I removed the settings and started the backups again. The application is not stable. It needs some debugging and testing on the build side of production."
"We do a lot of internal automation, so the Vembu API definitely has some gaps. The Vembu API could definitely use some improvement. We do rely a lot on automation outside of just the regular interface. We've noticed that the Vembu GUI is good, but we do leverage the APIs for a lot of stuff, and there's definitely some room for improvement there."
"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."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"The deduplication could be better. It doesn't give the level of deduplication that I would get with a product that's stored in a more standard file format. I would prefer to be able to use a non-deduplicated store on a third-party deduplicated medium."
"I have had issues with new client registrations. There are frequent connectivity issues to the cloud servers. Multiple times, I have had to prove to support that it wasn’t a problem on my end. It always works out in the end, but it is troubling to have the same issues repeated across different clients. Issues eventually get escalated to the cloud team and are mysteriously resolved with no changes on my end."
