We performed a comparison between Azure Site Recovery and BDRSuite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like best about Azure Site Recovery is that it's easier to use because my organization already has Azure as an Active Directory solution."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Azure Site Recovery allows my company to save around 30 percent of the time on every VM that we need to back up and restore."
"Provides generally good performance, from protection to production to failover to data recovery."
"Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"It is a very stable product and very scalable."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"Quick backup and restore; very simple and understandable interface."
"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."
"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."
"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 valuable features for me are that I can back up the entire virtual machine, but when restoring I can restore at the file level."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."
"In the newest version of Azure Site Recovery, the configuration was a little more complex, so this is an area for improvement."
"It is for site-to-site replication. When something goes wrong on your site, you only get 15 minutes before it also goes wrong on your replicated site. There should be some way to be able to say that we want to restore it, but we want to restore it to the version from yesterday. It should support versioning. I would also like to see real-time scanning for advanced threat protection, more straightforward billing, and quicker turnaround on the tech support."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"We need to be able to move the virtual servers and not build and then port them across. They need to improve the hypervisor."
"The pricing predictability and clarity around the final cost of the plan of this solution could be improved."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"One area for improvement with Azure is helping customers predict usage more accurately."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"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."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
