Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 27, 2025

Teradata and BDRSuite Backup & Replication compete in the data management and backup solutions category. Teradata has the edge in advanced data processing capabilities, while BDRSuite leads in cost-efficiency and ease of use for backup purposes.

Features:Teradata offers massive parallel processing, advanced analytics, and scalability, including geospatial analytics and a solid workload management system. BDRSuite provides simplicity and reliability in backup and recovery, with features like virtual machine backups, instant data recovery, and easy adaptability for IT infrastructures.

Room for Improvement:Teradata needs to address its high costs and complexity, especially concerning cloud adoption, alongside improving performance with unstructured data and enhancing technical support responsiveness. BDRSuite requires improvements in user interface design and documentation, particularly in cloud scenarios, as well as faster, more precise technical support and integration capabilities.

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

"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."

"Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."

"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."

"The initial setup is easy and very nice."

"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."

"I get my backups done."

"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."

"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."

"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."

"The tool's most valuable feature is the warehousing model."

"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."

"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."

"The solution scales well on the cloud."

"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."

More Teradata pros

Cons

"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."

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

"What I would love to see on the dashboard are graphs, per backup job. I want to see the month and the days in it... If a job has failed, when did it actually fail and what percentage of it failed? Did it fail completely, 75 percent or 100 percent or did it only fail partially?"

"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."

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

"The API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."

"Vembu will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."

"Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better."

"When backups are performed, it locks the database, preventing user access, which is a concern."

"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."

"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."

"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."

"The user interface needs to be improved."

"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."

More Teradata cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution provides much more value than other products that provide similar functionality. If price is a consideration for anyone who is looking to improve their backup processes, they owe it to themselves to look at the Vembu BDRSuite."

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

"This solution helped us deliver an enterprise level data protection solution and reduced our budget by 50 percent. We spent $3,000 on Vembu's licenses where other solutions were almost double."

"The pricing is fair."

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

"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."

"I deployed Veeam and it worked very well, but the problem was that its price was very high. As a result, I searched for another solution and found Vembu. I deployed it and we have been happy with it. For us, the major difference was the pricing."

"The subscription model that we're signed up for is very good. The only thing that is something of a sticking point is the fact that you can't do PO-based licensing. It's all just credit card."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."

"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."

"Teradata is a very expensive solution."

"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."

"I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services."

"When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise."

"The cost of running Teradata is quite high, but you get a good return on investment."

"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
