We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and NAKIVO Backup & Replication 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 enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."
"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."
"It was very difficult to find a product that supports Red Hat Virtualization natively and to take a snapshot of the VM or a full backup or a dump from the machine. The option that Vembu proposed, to take the machine as an image, take it from the system, is also good."
"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."
"I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."
"Quick backup and restore; very simple and understandable interface."
"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."
"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."
"It has saved us numerous times from power outages and server failure."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"It was also very easy to configure backups to be sent offsite to a separate repository for disaster recovery needs."
"Perfect for someone who doesn't want to waste time."
"The backups, especially of the incremental type, are really quick (ranging from five to 10 to 45 to 50 minutes depending on the size of the VM)."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"This product provides cost-efficient and reliable backups."
"This is a user-friendly solution that has a lot of certifications and documentation for the Microsoft Hyper-V infrastructure."
"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."
"The solution's UI and integrations could be better."
"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."
"They said they can support Red Hat Virtualization and we assumed that they support any compatible system but we found we need to do a network backup or a network image, which is not what it said on their website. I have had many discussions with them about where this component is. Initially, I was searching for a component which would back up Red Hat Virtualization. They said they support this in the same way they support Hyper-V and VMware. I haven't found the feature in their portal or in any of their software. They haven't made a special agent for it, in the way they did for Hyper-V."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."
"At the moment I am pleased with what Nakivo does but I would like more reporting functions and if possible, integration with my RMM system."
"It'll help if they offered some automation and more usability for partners."
"So far, there is no version that supports Polish. If such a version existed, many customers in our region would decide to purchase and implement this solution."
"In terms of what could be improved for the next release, I would probably answer better documentation and licensing models."
"It would be great if the product could be expanded to support other virtual technologies."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"There could be better integration with other solutions, such as Amazon S3."
"It would be helpful to be able to have a custom footprint so that only the required features are installed."
