We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Rubrik 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."It has improved our business continuity."
"You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"Vembu provides us with a way to instantly recover data. It offers instant data recovery through a local backup server deployed at the customer's site. We can quickly recover data either by copying it back to the main server or if the backup server is powerful enough, we can also directly start a virtual machine from the backup."
"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."
"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"It makes it possible for us to back up our Unix machines without installing a host, client, or any client software. It gives us some peace of mind in regards to those servers getting backed up."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"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 will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."
"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."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"Its cost is high."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
