<p>BDRSuite Backup &amp; Replication needs enhancements in support, interface, backup management, and integration to improve user experience and efficiency.</p>
N2W should improve the interface, integrate third-party solutions, enhance features, and ensure stability for a better user experience.
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Improved disaster recovery options and expanded multicloud support are two areas where N2WS has already made significant advancements in the latest version.
I would like to see native support for more AWS services beyond EC2 and EBS, such as full coverage of RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift.
The reporting engine could be easier to use.
 

Setup Cost

BDRSuite delivers cost-effective, flexible backup solutions with straightforward licensing, offering value over competitors like Veeam for budget-conscious businesses.
N2W provides competitive and flexible pricing options via AWS Marketplace, benefiting enterprises with cost-optimization strategies for scalable solutions.
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.
I believe N2WS offers a highly competitive pricing model, delivering excellent value.
The pricing is very reasonable for what the product can do.
 

Valuable Features

BDRSuite offers ease of use, automatic replication, and comprehensive features for efficient VMware and Hyper-V data protection and backups.
N2W Backup and Recovery offers fast, cost-efficient AWS management with an intuitive interface, automated scheduling, and secure, immutable backups.
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.
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.
We had a ransomware event in 2023, and we were able to recover every machine with minimal effort.

Redha Benlaksira - PeerSpot reviewer
The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago
BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console
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.
