Executive SummaryUpdated on Apr 20, 2025

Teradata and BDRSuite compete in the data management and backup solutions category. Teradata holds an advantage in handling large data volumes with advanced analytics, while BDRSuite stands out for ease of setup and cost-effective pricing.

Features: Teradata provides powerful features such as parallel processing, workload management, and a stable linear scaling architecture that enhances both data performance and protection. BDRSuite offers automated backup of virtual machines, high data compression capabilities, and a user-friendly GUI, all contributing to its appeal as a straightforward backup solution.

Room for Improvement: Teradata could improve its cloud offerings, reduce costs, and integrate better with other platforms while handling more unstructured data. BDRSuite needs enhancements in customer support response times, interface usability, and comprehensive documentation. A more flexible pricing model and improved stability and compatibility with various systems are also desired.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Teradata is versatile, deployed in environments such as on-premises and hybrid cloud, praised for redundancy and controlled setups despite slower response times for complex issues. BDRSuite offers flexible deployment, particularly in private cloud settings, though it faces challenges in support efficiency and response times.

Pricing and ROI: Teradata is a premium product, with its high costs justified by strong data processing capabilities, making it more suitable for large-scale environments. BDRSuite, conversely, is recognized for its cost-effective pricing, appealing to SMBs with tight budgets, though it may lack versatility for specific storage needs. Both solutions deliver substantial ROI through increased productivity and efficiency.

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

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

"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."

"The compression, encryption and deduplication features are fabulous and great stuff."

"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."

"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."

"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."

"The most valuable feature is the ability, from a console, to manage the different computers to be backed up."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."

"The functionality of the solution is excellent."

"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."

"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."

"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."

"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."

"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."

More Teradata pros

Cons

"I saw that it's not possible to have the last full backup duplicated on our site. Therefore, if I have a lot of information on the main site, I would not want to copy any information to those site servers. It would be nice to be able to make a copy of the last full backup."

"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."

"They said they can support Red Hat Virtualization and we assumed that they support any compatible system but we found we need to do a network backup or a network image, which is not what it said on their website. I have had many discussions with them about where this component is. Initially, I was searching for a component which would back up Red Hat Virtualization. They said they support this in the same way they support Hyper-V and VMware. I haven't found the feature in their portal or in any of their software. They haven't made a special agent for it, in the way they did for Hyper-V."

"Our initial experience with BDRSuite highlighted the need for improved user onboarding materials."

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

"There were issues with the implementation because of incompatibilities between the tool implementation and our current VMware installation. So, it was an implementation issue that doesn't allow me to use it for VMware backup in the manner in which we would want to use it. That wasn't clear from the evaluation stage nor was it clear from the first utilization of it because it worked in the environment that it was being evaluated in. Based on that, we went ahead and made the purchase of the full implementation. At that point, it became clear that there would be limitations in that implementation that could not be overcome without doing upgrades to the production environment."

"It would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed IT service provider, so we're backing up not just our own systems but all our clients'. In that regard, as we grow, we're putting business through Vembu. There is not any specific partner incentive at all. So that would be nice to see."

"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

"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."

"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."

"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."

"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."

"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."

"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."

"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."

"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is affordable. It has value with respect to the features included in the software."

"For our company, the current price of Vembu against Veeam is a few times cheaper. In our infrastructure, if we picked Veeam, we would have to pay about $20,000 per year. Now, we are currently paying about $2,000 per year for Vembu. You can do the math. The price is great."

"BDRSuite, although cost-efficient, is more expensive than most other providers."

"To continue to do backups, we fell back to Windows Backup mode. We are still using the tool, but not in the manner in which we would have wanted. The tool purchase doesn't cover all options of the tool, e.g., if I go in and buy it, I have to buy it licensed for VMware Backups, not Windows Backups. At this point, what had to happen was they had to allow it to operate in Windows Backup so I could continue to back up the VMs, but in a trial mode. The trial mode has been extended once, and now we're reaching the limit of that extension again. Because I still haven't been able to update the production VMware environment such that the tool will operate in it in the manner in which I want it to operate, I'm stuck having to go back again to say, "Sorry, I need to extend this trial on it again." Even though I've paid, I'm still only able to operate in a trial mode. So, it's been difficult for us."

"The pricing is fair."

"The pricing is very good."

"The pricing of Vembu is one of its strong points. The license is not as much as other competitors, and it has a variety of licensing options: subscription-based, perpetual licenses, and a virtual machine license. You can design whatever license that you adopted to your environment, and that can support your environment without extra cost, providing more than you need. So, you can design a license that fits your environment and budget. The pricing is very good and can be used when the budget is tight."

"The pricing of Vembu could be better. They have a good product, and I know good products cost money, but they need to find a balance."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."

"It's a very expensive product."

"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."

"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."

"The solution requires a license."

"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."

"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."

"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
