Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Site Recovery's most valuable features include its user-friendly console and the ease of migration."
"The documentation is good, and it can be integrated with other products."
"Azure Site Recovery is an easy-to-use and fairly stable solution for disaster recovery."
"They're moving a lot of their workload to cloud and aiming for a seamlessly integrated product."
"What I love about Azure Site Recovery is its simplicity for basic configurations."
"We use the solution across hospitality and healthcare domains. We use it for custom development. It helps us develop a seamless omnichannel for the healthcare industry."
"The solution is secure, reliable, and scalable."
"Azure Site Recovery helps to save costs."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"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 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 automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"It has improved our business continuity."
"Quick backup and restore; very simple and understandable interface."
"The primary area for improvement in Azure Site Recovery is its pricing."
"The immutable backup could be better."
"It could include more of a backup and recovery."
"I conveyed the feedback to the agent, suggesting an increase in the agent count in our VNS in the USA. I also addressed notification concerns, as some issues didn't trigger alerts during a recent call."
"It would be good if we could replicate the solution to multiple locations simultaneously because we are currently allowed to replicate to just a single location."
"The product's performance is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The tool should improve synchronization."
"The support team took a lot of time to respond and was not very professional."
"There were issues with the implementation because of incompatibilities between the tool implementation and our current VMware installation. So, it was an implementation issue that doesn't allow me to use it for VMware backup in the manner in which we would want to use it. That wasn't clear from the evaluation stage nor was it clear from the first utilization of it because it worked in the environment that it was being evaluated in. Based on that, we went ahead and made the purchase of the full implementation. At that point, it became clear that there would be limitations in that implementation that could not be overcome without doing upgrades to the production environment."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"I have had issues where it was working and then it stopped and I had to diagnose what had changed or gone wrong to get it back up."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"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."
"The system died twice and it was apparently the result of corrupted disk sectors. I tried to work with tech support to fix it, but they essentially gave up. So twice, I had to rebuild our server."
"I don't know if it exists, but it would be helpful to get email notifications when there are issues with the backup. I'm sure it probably exists, but I just don't know how to do it. They also have an Azure proxy feature where you can restore to Azure. It's not really well documented. I think they should document how to do that a little better."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
