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

We use it for VM backup and Office 365 backup I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy. It provides storage for Office 365, which is beneficial, and the deduplication technology is excellent, especially in optimizing storage capacity compared to others. In terms of…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying 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."

"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."

"If we do a backup of a machine at some point and the server crashes, then we can restore this machine to a different server with the same settings and setup. We will just have to tweak one or two things, like the IP. Then, it is ready to go."

"Because all our servers are hosted on VMware, the VMware backup is the most valuable feature. The integration and backup with VMware are very good."

"It has improved our business continuity."

"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."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."

"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."

"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."

"I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy."

"Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup's most valuable features include its user-friendly interface and the ability to perform data compression updates, which enhance overall efficiency and effectiveness."

"I find the solution to be user-friendly and easy to manage and deploy."

"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."

"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pros

"The replication is the most valuable feature for us."

"Veeam One is easy to use. You don't need to get very technical or specific class training. Anyone can start using it."

"The instant VM recovery feature is the most valuable. It is a very good tool for disaster recovery. It is also easy to manage."

"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."

"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."

"With Replication, Veeam allows us to have a duplicated VM on standby."

"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."

"Veeam is easy to use."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The interface could be better because I have to fumble around to find things. I can't just sit down at the terminal and know exactly what to do. It could be just me, but I have used a number of different backup products, and I found them simpler. However, its features are very good, so I don't mind sacrificing a bit of extra time to do what I need."

"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."

"The reports are at a basic level and there is room for improvement there. It only has historical reports and VM backup job-level reports."

"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."

"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."

"There was one issue though with the hardware IDs. When I went to a different version of Hyper-V, the hardware IDs weren't restored and the machine got two new IDs. The preliminary unique IDs weren't restored, so I had to reactivate programs."

"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."

"Vembu software runs on a Windows Server. The Windows Server has to be connected to the internet so it can connect with Vembu’s servers. It has to connect with Vembu. For some reason, if it doesn't connect, it stops working, and I don't know why on earth they do that. They require it to connect to the internet and connect with Vembu for it to continue to function. If the internet is down or if the server can't reach the internet, it stops working after a few days. That's not great because there are some people who want to do backups but they don't want to have their server accessible on the internet."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."

"The scalability of the solution is limited."

"The solution needs multi-platform support as it is currently only available for VMware and Hyper-V. It also lacks support for physical servers and workstations."

"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."

"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."

"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."

"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."

"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup cons

"They fixed everything that I was hoping for. It is pretty good. There were a few things in 9.x that I was wishing for, and they came true in version 10. We were looking for retention without having to make a copy job. We're getting ready to migrate m365 to the cloud. I haven't dived into it to make sure, but I wish the m365 backup would integrate into the current console so that we don't have to use two different consoles."

"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."

"The stability could be better, specifically in the cloud."

"We try to compare Veeam with other solutions because we are the operations. Then we can give the answers for improvement which is the specific additional system features that other solutions provide."

"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."

"Veeam is not in SaaS right now."

"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."

"I would like for them to develop the ability to fix the way it does backups. We can't pick a backup for one database. We have to do a backup on the whole Exchange VM. I'd like for them to change it to where we can do individual backups."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fair."

"I think it is a good value for the price."

"The product's pricing is a good value. Vembu is cost-effective versus using VMware Essentials. Regarding licensing, make sure you find the right workstation or server that you're going to install it on, and know the number of sockets it has, since the price depends on that."

"The high availability is too expensive for our customers."

"The pricing and licensing structure are spot on. I don't think there's anything out there in the market that does either the licensing structure or the pricing structure better."

"With the free version of Vembu, you receive three virtual machine backups. However, if you buy the NetworkBackup Enterprise version, you don't have access to the features seen in the free version. This is a situation that Vembu should solve. This caused a misunderstanding between sales and us. I was hoping if I buy the licenses, then after the trial I would not have to purchase virtual machine licenses. Maybe they should offer these three virtual machine backups as part of the Enterprise license."

"I do remember that the pricing was based on a VMware or Hyper-V license, whereas on our end, it should be regarded as a VM-based license. I don't know why they make a difference at the Vembu level. We are currently on VMware migrating to Hyper-V, and we didn't want to buy licenses for VMware, but still have to buy them for Hyper-V. This the only thing which does not seem fully adequate."

"The price for BDRSuite is justified."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Altaro had the best prices and ROI in the whole bunch that we evaluated."

"There is a free version for Hosts with 2 VMs."

"Its yearly maintenance fee is fairly high for me to renew for upgrades and support."

"The price is great for the utility you get and the licensing has never caused any issues with my company."

"The pricing is okay,"

"Altaro VM Backup is affordably priced. It is a best value for its price and has almost every feature that an expensive, popular product offers."

"VMware is a little pricey, but it is a good solution and priced similar to other products."

"No other product offers these features for this price. The ROI is great."

More Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup pricing and cost advice

"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."

"The price of the solution is high."

"They have a free edition that can back up up to 10 VMs or physical servers. Small and medium businesses can use this edition until they can afford to get a license, and after they get a license, they just activate it on the same console. That's the amazing thing about it."

"I acknowledge there are concerns about pricing, specifically in gaining more customers for VM. We've encountered difficulties in convincing them due to pricing issues. So, I rate it a six."

"The product is inexpensive."

"The pricing depends on the number of clients. We pay 10,00 USD per year. On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate the pricing an eight out of ten."

"Its software solution has a fee."

"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."
