Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 29, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform compete in the data backup and recovery category. Veeam Data Platform takes the upper hand due to its comprehensive solutions tailored for high-security enterprise environments.

Features: BDRSuite is recognized for user-friendly features, automatic backup replication, and effective compression which aids in reducing manual tasks through its intuitive GUI. It also supports MSP rebranding. Veeam Data Platform includes instant VM recovery, SureBackup, and enhanced encryption, making it ideal for enterprises needing robust security and rapid restoration in virtual environments.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite users find the support lacking during critical times and highlight the need for more comprehensive documentation. They desire a more effective support system. Veeam faces challenges with its complex licensing models and higher costs, which may not suit smaller businesses, and calls for better integration with non-Microsoft environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite is appreciated for its straightforward setup, and flexibility across on-premises and cloud deployments, catering well to small and medium businesses but needs to improve technical support responsiveness. Veeam boasts efficient deployment with strong hybrid and cloud integrations but shares similar support issues, with delays during non-business hours despite having knowledgeable staff.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is considered affordable for SMBs, offering strong features at a low cost and achieving favorable ROI with low upfront and ongoing costs. Veeam offers flexible pricing with perpetual and subscription licenses; its ROI is justified by an extensive feature set that benefits larger organizations, especially those requiring robust data protection and quick recovery.

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

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

"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."

"It makes it possible for us to back up our Unix machines without installing a host, client, or any client software. It gives us some peace of mind in regards to those servers getting backed up."

"I can choose a point in time and issue the command to back up and I don't need to go in and restore the last full backup and then apply iteratively, sequentially, all the incrementals... I can pick a point in time and tell it I want to go to that state and it's transparent to me. It happens in the background for me."

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

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

"I get my backups done."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup & Replication is that we can back up in-house and multiple cloud providers' storage."

"Strong performance with a high level of compatibility."

"Veeam Data Platform offers features specifically designed for ransomware defense."

"The setup was straightforward Veeam Backup Replication. NetBackup is a larger solution and takes more time to implement but Veeam Backup Replication takes approximately 40 days."

"Its ease of use for restore is really good. For Exchange, the Exchange Active Directory is great."

"The solution does a good job with VM backups."

"The tool is a stable backup solution."

"Very user-friendly and easily recoverable."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The system died twice and it was apparently the result of corrupted disk sectors. I tried to work with tech support to fix it, but they essentially gave up. So twice, I had to rebuild our server."

"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."

"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 had a lot of problems getting it configured in the first place. They also wanted us to allow them remote access to our machines without us watching what they're doing, which is a huge security risk for us. We said we couldn't do that, and they said they don't offer any phone support whatsoever."

"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."

"I have had issues with new client registrations. There are frequent connectivity issues to the cloud servers. Multiple times, I have had to prove to support that it wasn’t a problem on my end. It always works out in the end, but it is troubling to have the same issues repeated across different clients. Issues eventually get escalated to the cloud team and are mysteriously resolved with no changes on my end."

"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."

"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

"Pricing can be improved."

"I would like to see a storage application in the next version of the product."

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."

"The tech support could be better."

"I would like a solution for SAP systems to be included."

"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."

"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."

"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."

More Veeam Data Platform 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."

"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."

"For our needs, the price of the backup system is not too much... We checked out Veeam and Acronis but both were very expensive compared to Vembu."

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

"It's very affordable. We are very satisfied with the cost. It's very affordable for us."

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

"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 product's pricing is of good value. It was much more affordable than the alternative solution to it, which was Veeam. That would be the closest competitor, and between those two, Vembu was much more affordable. It seemed reasonable for what we needed to do."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"For what it does, the price is acceptable."

"Several licensing schemes are available."

"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."

"The price is affordable."

"The cost is based on the number of core servers."

"It is relatively cheap."

"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."

"The product is expensive for small businesses."
