We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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."The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"There is an option to back up a specific folder from a specific source, not the whole virtual machine."
"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."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"I get my backups done."
"The initial setup is easy and very nice."
"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."
"I am able to run Vembu on Windows NAS, which is beneficial. It does install on a Windows-based NAS. You can have the server running from the location where you are storing backups. You don't need a separate server for it in this case."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"The most valuable feature of the Veritas NetBackup Appliance is the virtual machine backups."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"The most valuable features of Veritas NetBackup Appliance are the ease of use and the familiar interface."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"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."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"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."
"They said they can support Red Hat Virtualization and we assumed that they support any compatible system but we found we need to do a network backup or a network image, which is not what it said on their website. I have had many discussions with them about where this component is. Initially, I was searching for a component which would back up Red Hat Virtualization. They said they support this in the same way they support Hyper-V and VMware. I haven't found the feature in their portal or in any of their software. They haven't made a special agent for it, in the way they did for Hyper-V."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"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."
"In terms of implementing the solution, it's quite technical. You need to be knowledgable in order to pull off a successful deployment."
"Depending on the setup structure, it can be complex to implement."
"They could simplify the process of installing, and provide more space for data during the process."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"This solution has to have better integration with the cloud, as well as with other solutions such as Business Intelligence products."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
