Sentiment score
2.9

Not needing technical support is even better than good technical support.

<p>BDRSuite Backup &amp; Replication is scalable, allowing users to expand easily with adequate resources and infrastructure support.</p>

<p>BDRSuite Backup &amp; Replication offers mostly stable performance, with some users experiencing minor issues, particularly on older versions or configurations.</p>
Sentiment score
4.5
N2W is renowned for its stability, consistently managing backups efficiently, ensuring reliability and minimal downtime in production environments.
 

Room For Improvement

<p>BDRSuite Backup &amp; Replication needs enhancements in support, interface, backup management, and integration to improve user experience and efficiency.</p>
N2W requires UI upgrades, better deployment, third-party integration, detailed documentation, efficient backups, expanded tools, multicloud support, and stability.
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Adding an 'auto-delete after X days' option to manual backups, similar to scheduled policies, would be a fantastic addition for cost management and general housekeeping.
I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift.
Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version.
 

Setup Cost

BDRSuite delivers cost-effective, flexible backup solutions with straightforward licensing, offering value over competitors like Veeam for budget-conscious businesses.
N2W provides flexible, instance-based pricing on AWS Marketplace, allowing cost-effective management, with optimization needed for growing backup volumes.
While N2W is a paid product, the cost is easily justified by the significant reduction in engineering hours spent on managing and troubleshooting custom backup scripts.
Pricing can increase as backup volumes grow, so it is important to balance the level of protection with cost-optimization strategies such as tiering snapshots to S3 or Glacier.
Not all features are available in the cheaper plans.
 

Valuable Features

BDRSuite offers ease of use, automatic replication, and comprehensive features for efficient VMware and Hyper-V data protection and backups.
N2W provides efficient backup, recovery, and cost management with intuitive GUI, policy-based management, and cross-region resilience.
The features I find most valuable are ease of backup, ease of restore, the full restore, just getting some data out of a backup server or even the applications that are in the server, going through the database or going to Exchange.
Backup and recovery is obviously the most important feature.
The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.
Knowing that our entire application stack, including its VPC configuration, can be rebuilt in a different AWS region with a few clicks is the ultimate safety net against a region-wide outage or major security event.

Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
George Philippakos - PeerSpot reviewer
Backup process and monitoring become simple and effective while seamless instance recovery and cost optimization ensure business continuity
Policy creation is straightforward, with automatic backups of new resources enabled through tagging. Instance recovery is seamless, whether within the same VPC or across different VPCs. File-level restores are intuitive and easy to manage, while full VPC backups provide critical protection and peace of mind in the event of a disaster. In addition, lifecycle management and automated transitions to lower-cost storage tiers have been instrumental in optimizing costs while meeting compliance and retention requirements. The ability to create immutable backups further strengthens our business continuity strategy by ensuring an additional layer of protection against accidental or malicious data loss.
