We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."
"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"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."
"The most important features are the backup and the availability of the Universal Explorer. The in-transit compression is great."
"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."
"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."
"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"It is essential. We can't do without it."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"The reporting is very good, with all of the details highlighted and very clear."
"Its ability to cover a large spectrum of products and operating systems is invaluable. We evaluated other products but always found certain limitations like some products had only intel-based virtualization, while others had power servers."
"I have found the Media Server Deduplication tool, deployment policies, and agentless features to be the most valuable features."
"Its most valuable features are flexibility and reliability."
"I like NetBackup's accelerator feature. You can take a full backup with incremental speed and integrate it with block tracking."
"The solution offers very good storage efficiency, so there's excellent compression and deduplication within the product that our clients really appreciate."
"The only place where I would really want to see improvement, out the gate, is more granular scheduling... If I want to do an offset or to only do two backups on Friday and Saturday - versus whole hourly incrementals during the week - I don't have that granularity right now."
"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."
"I suggest that the dump of the database have the option to either be backed up to Vembu Cloud or be backed up to all backup sites and not only to default storage."
"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."
"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."
"It is very easy, unless you know exactly what you're doing, to corrupt the virtual machines and they get locked up. Just brief detail: When you are creating a system, if you don't have absolutely every other little background processes in place, it creates Snapshots of the virtual machines. Once it does that, it then won't be able to have a backup. From that point on you have to destroy the virtual machine, which is completely counterproductive on a large system. There is a fundamental flaw in the setup that can be very dangerous, potentially."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"Vembu software runs on a Windows Server. The Windows Server has to be connected to the internet so it can connect with Vembu’s servers. It has to connect with Vembu. For some reason, if it doesn't connect, it stops working, and I don't know why on earth they do that. They require it to connect to the internet and connect with Vembu for it to continue to function. If the internet is down or if the server can't reach the internet, it stops working after a few days. That's not great because there are some people who want to do backups but they don't want to have their server accessible on the internet."
"I would advise not to use this tool. I think between the licensing issues and the older solution mentality it is not a great solution."
"Once the protection plan is created, we cannot pause or resume via the web administration page."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"The biggest additional features needed are more cloud capabilities and security from ransomware."
"You cannot tell what your costs are going to be by using the dashboard, which is something that should be improved."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"In the next release, I would like to have a better way to protect against ransomware attacks and a better way of logging issues where you don't have to enable the verbose logging to capture the problems."
"DDBoost."
