The nice thing about Vembu is that when it's running - as it does incrementals daily - we don't see a negative hit on the performance of the server it runs on. I can also… more»What needs improvement?
In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product. Once we understood how it operated - where we thought it was… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It's an amazing value. Their licensing structure is easy to understand and it's very fair. We don't have any problem with it.Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The oldest previous solution we had was Windows Server Backup. Once we put Vembu on the production server, we ran a full backup that evening. That's probably one of the… more»What other advice do I have?

One issue that we are facing is that, during the evaluation period, we had some jobs that were replicating three virtual machines from one ESXi to another. Then, during… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

We were using Symantec Veritas Backup but it was an old-fashioned solution - at least the version that we were using. It was doing backups on the level of application… more»What other advice do I have?

What is most valuable?
The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor.How has it helped my organization?

Pricing is a good value. Licensing seems okay. I suppose the more volume you put through the system, it would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We haven't actually switched. We do use Microsoft Azure backup systems. We've used our own online backup systems. We've used in-built data center backup solutions a well… more»What other advice do I have?

The subscription model that we're signed up for is very good. The only thing that is something of a sticking point is the fact that you can't do PO-based licensing. It's… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We did use a different solution previous to this. It was an onsite and cloud-based solution. With the cloud-based component, we switched because of the cost savings with… more»What other advice do I have?

Overall, it's unattended, so we don't have to manage it. Once it's set up, we get notifications of a failed or successful backup every night, or for whatever schedule we have it set on. We've had a… more»What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

One that we evaluated was the Veeam Backup software solution. That's very popular for virtual machines, specifically, hypervisors, Hyper-V and VMware. In that box, there's a one-footer. We evaluated… more»Vendor

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… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
The reason I use Vembu is to back up my virtual machines. You can back up virtual machines manually but Vembu does it automatically. I'd rather have it updated and backed up automatically, without my… more»What other advice do I have?
