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

User-friendly, easy to deploy, and stable

I give the solution a nine out of ten. We require one engineer for maintenance. I would highly recommend N2WS Backup & Recovery, as I have had no issues and the sales and technical support teams have been excellent. They keep in touch with us every three to six months via email and phone calls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."

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

"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."

"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."

"We have seen ROI. The real return is when something bad happens. All the proof of concept work that we did, all the testing we did, it all panned out for us. We're already seeing a return on that."

"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."

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

"The main difference I see between Vembu and the other solutions we've tried is that with Vembu, you don't need anybody to tell you what to do. Once you have done the installation you just look at the user interface — it's very friendly — and you can do things yourself without resorting to help from anybody."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The initial setup is easy."

"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."

"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."

"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."

"The product is successful with the SMB market."

"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."

"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."

Cons

"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."

"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."

"The response time of the support could be improved a little bit. Sometimes, I need to wait for two or three hours to get support. With VMware, we can get urgent support in an hour. Other than that, I'm pretty good with BDRSuite."

"The dashboard should more interactive."

"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."

"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."

"I suggest that the dump of the database have the option to either be backed up to Vembu Cloud or be backed up to all backup sites and not only to default storage."

"We do a lot of internal automation, so the Vembu API definitely has some gaps. The Vembu API could definitely use some improvement. We do rely a lot on automation outside of just the regular interface. We've noticed that the Vembu GUI is good, but we do leverage the APIs for a lot of stuff, and there's definitely some room for improvement there."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The GUI has room for improvement."

"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."

"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."

"The GUI could be slightly improved."

"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."

"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."

"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."

"There is room for improvement in stability."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its counterparts. I like its pricing, and its price is okay. The lesser they take, the more profit we can make, but we are happy with its price. It is very affordable. We were working with a client, and they were looking for backup software and had a very tight budget. When I told them that Vembu is only going to cost around $400 to $500, they were shocked. They didn't believe me, so I showed them the website so that they can check the price themselves. Of course, if they agree to that price, we get a 15% rebate as a managed service provider."

"The pricing structure is in line with other solutions. However, the option to replicate offsite to a unit at another office or at home is a big cost benefit. Instead of paying monthly for cloud storage, you replicate offsite for free."

"We are saving $6,000 every three years versus having another product."

"It's more affordable than Veeam, so smaller companies can afford to have a solution like this in place, which is very nice."

"The pricing is pretty reasonable."

"Pricing is fair enough. What was not clear enough in the documentation on the website was that that you're licensing per CPU socket and you are only licensing on the restore sockets, not the backup sockets. It's a bit technical, but it was very well explained during the demonstration that we had during the evaluation period."

"At the moment, I am doing Vembu for one host. My costs are about $25 USD a month for a single host up to 100 VMs."

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

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"It has very good pricing per instance and comes with three options, for both small and large environments, to fit your needs."

"AWS adds more features and offer things for free, or cheaply. Therefore, we will be evaluating AWS Data Lifecycle Manager, because it will probably do backups. Thus, make sure the product that you are using is competitive or adds more value than AWS."

"The purchasing process through the AWS Marketplace is easy. Just click the button."

"The price is not cheap, nor is it costly."

"It's very economical and worth the cost."

"The pricing and licensing on AWS is fine, because you can do it for smaller tiers depending on your number of instances, so it's not that scary."
