Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers.""The most valuable feature is the ability, from a console, to manage the different computers to be backed up.""The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine.""The initial setup is easy and very nice.""I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive.""Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation.""The compression, encryption and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff.""We use it to maintain critical data and save it."

More BDRSuite Pros →

"The workload can be moved directly if the disaster site is the main site.""The most valuable feature is that it is journal-based and you don't have to replicate a lot of data.""The installation is straightforward if the version you have is compatible with your infrastructure.""Point-in-time recovery and ease of deployment are valuable.""It is a point-in-time restore, which is quite handy.""The solution is quite stable. We haven't experienced any kind of bug or glitch. We haven't experienced crashes.""RecoverPoint replicates workloads fast.""The most valuable features are the data center recovery administration and the time of recovery."

Cons
"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 are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time.""Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement.""The reporting can use some improvement. I still use the old StoreGrid Cloud while I'm migrating the rest of my clients over. I am able to export all of my clients' usage for the month, which I then import into my billing program. It helps me speed up the billing process. Also, I can generate a report that gives me statuses of everyone's backup, which I don't get from Vembu Backup Online either. I would like to have something similar where I can export everyone's usage at any time for all their backups, so I can use that to import them to my billing program.""I don't know if it exists, but it would be helpful to get email notifications when there are issues with the backup. I'm sure it probably exists, but I just don't know how to do it. They also have an Azure proxy feature where you can restore to Azure. It's not really well documented. I think they should document how to do that a little better.""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.""They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful.""The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."

More BDRSuite Cons →

"In the next release of this software, I would like to see options that help to decrease the bandwidth required, such as compressing the data.""It should have features for recovering a group of virtual machines and full-scale security. For recovering all the VMs at once, they don't have a GUI option, and we have to use the command line.""It can have better integration. It would be good if, in addition to VMware VM, it can also support other hypervisors. I also want to see support for Oracle databases. As of now, it supports only SQL and Exchange. It would be good to also support other databases.""I would like to have the HTML 5 interface working because it is currently not functioning with the VMware environment.""The configuration process seems a bit challenging, and the installation takes a bit longer than expected.""I would like to see integration with EMC NetWorker in the next release.""It would be good to have a critical application on the customer side.""The solution could improve by being more easier to use. However, once you have used it for a while it becomes easier. Additionally, there could be better support and compatibility with management by having a command-line interface. This would be beneficial for the customers."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The product's pricing is a good value. Vembu is cost-effective versus using VMware Essentials. Regarding licensing, make sure you find the right workstation or server that you're going to install it on, and know the number of sockets it has, since the price depends on that."
  • "It is very cost efficient, effective. I’d say it's one-third the cost of Veritas when compared to the server backups. I even tried image backups on Acronis, but Acronis is very expensive. So these are some of the key reasons why I opted for it."
  • "We were able to take advantage of a promotional pricing campaign."
  • "The pricing structure is in line with other solutions. However, the option to replicate offsite to a unit at another office or at home is a big cost benefit. Instead of paying monthly for cloud storage, you replicate offsite for free."
  • "Pricing is fair enough. What was not clear enough in the documentation on the website was that that you're licensing per CPU socket and you are only licensing on the restore sockets, not the backup sockets. It's a bit technical, but it was very well explained during the demonstration that we had during the evaluation period."
  • "I prefer the way Vembu is licensed. When you look at Veeam or any other product, they price per node. Vembu is licensed per host. You just buy a host license and it backs up unlimited VMs within that host. The others charge per VM."
  • "Vembu is too expensive because they don't really have small-business pricing. This is a matter of personal opinion. They're going to tell you that they have competitive pricing because there are more expensive solutions in the marketplace, but there are better solutions in the marketplace that are more expensive. Their product is a better fit for small businesses, but they don't price it that way."
  • "The product's pricing is of good value. It was much more affordable than the alternative solution to it, which was Veeam. That would be the closest competitor, and between those two, Vembu was much more affordable. It seemed reasonable for what we needed to do."

  • "This is not a very cheap solution and compared to others, it is expensive."
  • "This is an expensive product."
  • "Pricing-wise, it is pretty much fair for any customer who only has a VMware environment. Licensing is based on the number of VMs that you want to protect at any given point in time. Licensing is not based on size."
  • "There is a license required for this solution and the pricing depends on how many virtual machines you have."
  • "It was a part of a backup solution. So, it was free for us."
