Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 3, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and NinjaOne compete in the realm of IT management solutions. BDRSuite holds an edge in backup-specific functions, whereas NinjaOne excels in broader IT management features due to its robust device management and remote access capabilities.

Features: BDRSuite offers automatic backup replication, MSP rebranding support, and a variety of data protection options such as compression and encryption. It is known for its ease of backup and restoration in VMware and Hyper-V environments. NinjaOne provides strong device management, remote access, and customization capabilities. It boasts effective patch management, monitoring functions, and seamless integration with third-party applications.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite struggles with time zone challenges affecting vendor support and lacks a comprehensive hardware solution. There are complexities in automated recovery and setup procedures. NinjaOne needs enhancements in its patch management for third-party applications and a more intuitive ticketing system interface. Both solutions would benefit from improved customer support responsiveness.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite primarily uses on-premises deployment with some hybrid and cloud options, while NinjaOne offers multiple cloud deployment configurations. BDRSuite's customer service is mixed, often slowed by time zone issues, but maintains adequate technical support. NinjaOne’s customer service is relatively standardized, enhancing its customer interaction quality.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is lauded for flexible licensing and affordability, offering cost savings for small to medium enterprises and showing potential ROI within several months. NinjaOne offers subscription-based pricing, deemed reasonable and negotiable at larger scales, with users valuing its feature-rich offering that boosts productivity through IT management tools.

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

"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."

"While BDRSuite offers a variety of functionalities, our primary focus is its disaster recovery capabilities, which we find to be the most valuable aspect of the software."

"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."

"It helps me with restores. I can repeat a test multiple times: Do the test, the restore, and then test again. It saves me time because I don't have to rebuild the VMs every time."

"When you're looking at your dashboard, you can see all your active jobs. You can see exactly if they're successful or failed and you can actually drill down and see what caused the problem. The fact you can see that right away is nice."

"The agentless backups are the big selling point on this, as well as being able to send out across sites so that I can do a restore at either of our two locations."

"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."

"The most useful feature is that you can back up the virtual machines in different ways. You can back up from a vhost, and you can also back up from a Windows server. It doesn't matter what type of infrastructure or hypervisor is there. It's very flexible, which is its most useful feature for us."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"It just works as advertised and serves the purpose for which we got it."

"NinjaOne has a feature where we can create custom scripts that we can run on devices remotely."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"NinjaOne helps us view the status of software patching, whether the PC is locked or unlocked."

"The most relevant feature is the monitoring, which provides built-in tools for sending commands."

"The most valuable feature we have found currently is probably patch management."

"The software's automation tools have solved critical deployment problems for small businesses."

"The installation is easy, it only took two minutes."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"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."

"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."

"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."

"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."

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

"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."

"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."

"There are bugs. For one month, I encountered a big issue where my storage pool could not be identified. My backups were stopped because they were not able to locate the storage pool. So, I removed the settings and started the backups again. The application is not stable. It needs some debugging and testing on the build side of production."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The solution could improve by optimizing the internet connection being used."

"NinjaOne's reporting module is cumbersome."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"There was a lot of delay with NinjaOne's ticketing system. For example, when a user creates a ticket and raises an issue, it would take 30 to 40 minutes to appear on the IT side. So the time delay issue is the main point."

"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The return of investment was very fast, within half a year."

"The pricing is very good."

"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."

"There is a drawback in the whole approach about how the licenses are managed. There are two consoles: cloud and on-premise. It seems that on a daily basis we have to manage both consoles, which isn't user-friendly. Ideally, it should be either a single on-premise console or only a cloud console. A single platform approach is the better solution. For now, with full licensing, you have to manage your instances on the Vembu Portal, then reassign licenses, and go back to your on-premise management console to do the real management. It is a bit awkward."

"I prefer the way Vembu is licensed. When you look at Veeam or any other product, they price per node. Vembu is licensed per host. You just buy a host license and it backs up unlimited VMs within that host. The others charge per VM."

"The pricing could have been cheaper."

"We were able to take advantage of a promotional pricing campaign."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Its pricing is great."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."

"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."
