We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and N2WS Backup & Recovery 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."Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."
"It helps me with restores. I can repeat a test multiple times: Do the test, the restore, and then test again. It saves me time because I don't have to rebuild the VMs every time."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"The main difference I see between Vembu and the other solutions we've tried is that with Vembu, you don't need anybody to tell you what to do. Once you have done the installation you just look at the user interface — it's very friendly — and you can do things yourself without resorting to help from anybody."
"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."
"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."
"You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."
"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."
"N2WS Backup & Recovery is very easy to use and configure backup for AWS instances."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"The backup and restore functionality is very easy to use and manage."
"Provides easy, one-click functionality and flexible backup policies and schedules for AWS workloads."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use."
"The recovery time is fantastic and proven. Also, by providing a simple interface, the solution lowers the cost."
"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 would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"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."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"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."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
