Room For Improvement

BDRShield faces criticism for its complex UI, lacking features, support issues, and limited integration and stability options.
NetVault Plus requires improved restore speed, user interface, compatibility, scheduling, security, database support, performance, and development interaction.
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting.
There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.
NetVault Plus doesn't have a support team in my country; having a local contact in Turkey would be very useful for us.
 

Setup Cost

BDRShield provides cost-effective, flexible pricing options with some licensing complexity, praised for affordability and user-friendly experience.
NetVault Plus pricing varies; it's seen as costly or affordable, offering flexible licensing and potential discounts for multiple purchases.
The pricing is not expensive, rated around a four in terms of cost.
 

Valuable Features

BDRShield excels in automatic backups, seamless integration, and storage efficiency, ensuring quick recovery and effective multi-tenant management.
Quest NetVault Plus provides easy deployment, user-friendly interface, comprehensive database and backup management, reporting, malware scanning, and network control.
The features I find most valuable are ease of backup, ease of restore, the full restore, just getting some data out of a backup server or even the applications that are in the server, going through the database or going to Exchange.
Quest NetVault Plus supports a wide range of databases such as MSSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SAP, offering extensive coverage.
The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business.
The application supports scanning files for malware before backup operations.

Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
Cahit Yolacan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported reliable file backup operations and maintained compliance with local data policies
The strong point for me is the tape record feature. The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business. There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it. It's just used in general, and another colleague specifically selected NetVault Plus without any problem in Turkey area; everything is good enough for me. But specifically, with NetVault Plus, I don't see any impact.
