Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"Its ease of use and price are most valuable. It is simple and straightforward. Someone who has never used any backup software will easily understand it from the first installation. It is that simple. Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its counterparts."
"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."
"The most useful feature is that you can back up the virtual machines in different ways. You can back up from a vhost, and you can also back up from a Windows server. It doesn't matter what type of infrastructure or hypervisor is there. It's very flexible, which is its most useful feature for us."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"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."
"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"It's very regimented and fast. It does local backup, cloud backup, long-term coverage, and disaster recovery."
"Its big data and archive data features are the features that I have found most valuable. I can use it in a big virtual environment."
"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."
"One thing that I reported with the backups: When there are accentuated characters in a path, then we can't restore documents into a folder. There is a bug with the restoration and restoring files with accentuated characters in the path. Hopefully, they have repaired this because otherwise we will restore files and find out that they are not there."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"The API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."
"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."
"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 have not been impressed by the data compression of the backup images. They seem to take up nearly as much space on the backup drive as they do on the server."
"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."
"The initial setup can be complex, depending on the environment."
"The limitation that I see in Cohesity is that the minimum sized node is 36 terabytes, which is more than a small customer needs."
