Data protection needs are supported through effective cybersecurity features
I have installed Acronis Cyber Cloud for file server backup. The second destination for the file server backup is Acronis Cloud Storage The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption. With these features,…

The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago
BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The management of Acronis Cyber Cloud is straightforward due to its simplicity in configuration."
"With Acronis Cyber Cloud, I can protect my backups and data from cyber threats."
"It is a highly scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The features I find most effective for cybersecurity include reporting, vulnerability scanning, ransomware protection, and encryption."
"I would rate the overall solution as ten out of ten."
"The assurance that we are always protected and backed up is a significant benefit."
"I can expand on the fly by just adding space or the number of users."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"I back up one particular server with close to 1.2 TB, and the way the software compresses it is close to 600 or 700 TB. Vembu compresses it to close to 450 gigabytes, that's gigabytes. So that’s really amazing, the way in which the backup compression happens."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."
"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"The compression, encryption and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff."
"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
 

Cons

"Some improvement is needed in the speed when downloading data from the cloud backups, which requires more bandwidth."
"If there is any attack on the server, I would like to know whether the backup image will be in a healthy or unhealthy status. Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"With respect to support, I feel that sometimes there is a delay."
"Sandboxing features would be beneficial."
"Support for legacy storage solutions, like tape, could be improved. Acronis Cyber Cloud only supports on-premises solutions, and I wish there were a way to implement this support with the cloud or have another backup location, other than the cloud, instead of tape."
"The interface could be improved, especially the cloud configuration, which currently has many tabs."
"Pricing is still a little high, as other vendors offer better pricing."
"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."
"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."
"I saw that it's not possible to have the last full backup duplicated on our site. Therefore, if I have a lot of information on the main site, I would not want to copy any information to those site servers. It would be nice to be able to make a copy of the last full backup."
"Vembu's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The current price for the advanced version is approximately 35,000 Indian rupees."
"It helps us deliver an enterprise-level data protection solution and reduce budgets at a price that - and we don't want to encourage them to change their pricing - is a great value."
"Its price is fair, and they still allow perpetual licensing, which is extremely important for us. They also have offline licensing. I am not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, you aren't going to beat it."
"The only thing with room for improvement, as everybody says, since I'm in a home lab, would be the price for the CPU; the cost... As far as competitors' prices go, Vembu was definitely better than all the competitors I found."
"The pricing could have been cheaper."
"I think it is a good value for the price."
"It is affordable. It has value with respect to the features included in the software."
"This solution provides much more value than other products that provide similar functionality. If price is a consideration for anyone who is looking to improve their backup processes, they owe it to themselves to look at the Vembu BDRSuite."
"I deployed Veeam and it worked very well, but the problem was that its price was very high. As a result, I searched for another solution and found Vembu. I deployed it and we have been happy with it. For us, the major difference was the pricing."
