We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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."We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"We are now using it 24/7 because it is serving as an online backup, and very soon, the DR will activated on the product."
"The most important feature, in terms of the hypervisor, is the ability to restore a virtual machine in a matter of minutes. We can take the backup of a virtual machine and we can restore it to the actual Vembu Backup server as a temporary solution, in a matter of minutes. We can just spin up a VM in no time; different hardware, even different processors. It's pretty dynamic in that sense."
"Their technical support is very good to work with, as they are able to propose alternate solutions to problems that work well for us."
"I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."
"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."
"The product enables me to recover the information of the appliances in the organization."
"It has been our go-to product for backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"We have good data backup coverage."
"If you use the NetBackup Appliance you do not need to have separate media servers and hardware. You can configure the same storage as a media server and master server as well as a storage port. This helps to reduce the hardware costs of the media server."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"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."
"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."
"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."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"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."
"Maybe they can add some features regarding working with the vCenter cluster to be able to have more power over the cluster overall, not just over a single or specific host. Also, I would like some enhancements in technology for the web interface, e.g., some interactive technologies to advance the interface of Vembu. Although the current interface is very good, maybe they can use more advanced technologies for its web development."
"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."
"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."
"The technical support services could be better."
"It's an expensive solution."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The hybrid model is not that efficient if we want to off-site data; it takes a lot of time to upload the data on a regular basis."
"Feature-wise, it is quite good, but it is very costly. Its price has gone up quite significantly over the years, and that makes people like us look at alternatives."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
