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 initial setup is easy and very nice."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"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."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"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."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"Every new version has got some tweaks and improvements in stability and speed."
"Most valuable for DimenXional Cloud is the API provided by Nakivo which allows us to implement the software in all types of solutions."
"The features that I have found most valuable are that it is a cheaper price and user-friendly."
"The speed of the backups and replications is fantastic and, for the most part, the simplicity of use has been wonderful."
"The features that we like the most are the Backup Copy and Active Directory Integration. They have helped us to save a lot of time since we do not have to make the backup copies “by hand”."
"This product has helped to centralize backups and made it easy to recover data."
"They can work on their cloud solution. In these days, the data becomes too much and you have to back up a lot of data to the site. They could offer cheaper storage to their clients with the cloud, making this a single source of truth solution. In our project, we are using two service providers: One who offers our storage and another who offers the software. If they work on their cloud solution and can offer their clients lower prices for this type of storage, this would be a really good improvement."
"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."
"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."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"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."
"The interface could be better because I have to fumble around to find things. I can't just sit down at the terminal and know exactly what to do. It could be just me, but I have used a number of different backup products, and I found them simpler. However, its features are very good, so I don't mind sacrificing a bit of extra time to do what I need."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"The upgrade process is a bit dated and could use some changes."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"It would be great if they had a Let's Encrypt integration."
"UI could use some upgrades. The UI is basic, but functional."
"It could be a little bit faster in terms of backup and offer more reliable SQL server backups."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"From an administrator usage perspective, the interface is very intuitive, but maybe the wizard for creating and modifying backup jobs could look a little fancier."
"It is missing the file and folder backup; however, this product is meant for virtual machine backup and recovery, so that is really outside of the scope of the software."
