We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The best thing about it is that it has been adaptable to our business model. We are in industrial networking, and they were adaptable to give us offline installers and offline licenses. That has been the biggest thing. They also allow us to order the licenses on a perpetual basis.""BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention.""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.""It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints.""Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite.""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.""The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it.""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."

"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure.""The advantage of Veeam Backup and Replication is that it is very economical. The price is affordable and the cost benefit is good.""Very user-friendly and easily recoverable.""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.""It's a pretty complete product.""Once you get it set up, everything is smooth, and the recovery is excellent.""It integrates easily with third-party solutions compared to other vendors.""Storage Snapshot is a good feature and very safe."

Cons
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled.""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.""Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI.""BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup.""It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems. All other vendors let you simply log in to the cloud console and control everything from there, but for Vembu, whether you choose Vembu Cloud Backup or Vembu Disaster Recovery, you still need to install the Vembu software on your on-premise system and configure it from there. It would be great if I can get a cloud console to manage the systems.""The solution's UI and integrations could be better.""The dashboard should more interactive."

More BDRSuite Cons →

"Occasionally, in the course of upgrading one's virtualization platform, the backup can be ruined.""The initial setup is complex.""They need to improve their technical side.""Unfortunately, the software only runs on Windows.""The Veeam backup application interface is application-based and not web-based.""Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved.""I think that Veeam could improve some performance issues when the backup itself is restored. I'm also using HPE StoreOnce, which has deduplication, and when I'm trying to test or run backups, it takes a lot of time. I think they could improve the testing for backup copies.""The licensing models, from a reseller's perspective, could be better."

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 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."
  • "Its price is reasonable as compared to other solutions. There are no additional costs. While increasing the count on the server-side, we have to take care of managing or optimizing the license."
  • "The pricing is good. The tough part is estimating storage needs."
  • "Its price is fair, and they still allow perpetual licensing, which is extremely important for us. They also have offline licensing. I am not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, you aren't going to beat it."
  • "It's very affordable. We are very satisfied with the cost. It's very affordable for us."
  • "The product is affordable, and we focus on SMBs for our customer base."
  • "The license is per unit and is expensive."
  • More BDRSuite Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "We purchase a license annually."
  • "The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
  • "It is relatively cheap."
  • "We have a yearly perpetual license."
  • "The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."
  • "I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
  • "When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."
  • "The price is reasonable."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Veeam Backup & Replication is a solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Some of its major advantages are its ease of set up, the fact that it is agentless, and that it has an intuitive dashboard. 

    A Network Operations Manager at an educational organization says, "Integration with VMware is excellent with very granular recovery."

    An Inside Solutions Architect at a tech services company mentions, “I like that it's agent-less, easy to set up, and hardware-agnostic.”

    An Account Manager at a tech services company states, “The dashboard is very, very easy to understand. We do demonstrations all the time with customers just to show them. If they've lost particular files because of a server going down, we can retrieve those files for them and quickly bring those files back up.”

    Kerem C., Director of Professional Services/Senior Solution Architect/Trainer at a tech services company, explains, “It's good for backup performance management and backup window management.”
