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

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."

"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 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 best thing about it is that it has been adaptable to our business model. We are in industrial networking, and they were adaptable to give us offline installers and offline licenses. That has been the biggest thing. They also allow us to order the licenses on a perpetual basis."

"Quick backup and restore; very simple and understandable interface."

"The initial setup is easy and very nice."

"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."

"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"It's simple to use."

"The initial setup was straightforward. It's not complicated. It takes around half an hour to implement, but it depends on the performance of the server that you are installing the backup software on."

"The Veeam Backup and Replication Suite is very user-friendly."

"The ease of use for the graphical interface and the ease of installation are the most valuable features of this solution."

"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."

"Veeam Agent for Linux's most valuable feature is the compatibility with virtual machines, such as VMware."

"The solution is very user-friendly and has an easy to use interface. We can manage it easily. It allows for a simple backup."

"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."

More Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] pros

Cons

"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."

"There are bugs. For one month, I encountered a big issue where my storage pool could not be identified. My backups were stopped because they were not able to locate the storage pool. So, I removed the settings and started the backups again. The application is not stable. It needs some debugging and testing on the build side of production."

"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."

"There was one issue though with the hardware IDs. When I went to a different version of Hyper-V, the hardware IDs weren't restored and the machine got two new IDs. The preliminary unique IDs weren't restored, so I had to reactivate programs."

"They can work on their cloud solution. In these days, the data becomes too much and you have to back up a lot of data to the site. They could offer cheaper storage to their clients with the cloud, making this a single source of truth solution. In our project, we are using two service providers: One who offers our storage and another who offers the software. If they work on their cloud solution and can offer their clients lower prices for this type of storage, this would be a really good improvement."

"They had a good product and tried to change things by going to a different product. They should have tried to stay with a product that is a proven solution and successful."

"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."

"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."

"They could be more customer-friendly."

"In new releases, I hope they can support Oracle cloud."

"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."

"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."

"It's scalable, but it's not scalable on every platform."

"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."

"Technical support could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The subscription model that we're signed up for is very good. The only thing that is something of a sticking point is the fact that you can't do PO-based licensing. It's all just credit card."

"For our needs, the price of the backup system is not too much... We checked out Veeam and Acronis but both were very expensive compared to Vembu."

"The product's pricing is a good value. Vembu is cost-effective versus using VMware Essentials. Regarding licensing, make sure you find the right workstation or server that you're going to install it on, and know the number of sockets it has, since the price depends on that."

"Its price is reasonable as compared to other solutions. There are no additional costs. While increasing the count on the server-side, we have to take care of managing or optimizing the license."

"The pricing is good. The tough part is estimating storage needs."

"The return of investment was very fast, within half a year."

"It's more affordable than Veeam, so smaller companies can afford to have a solution like this in place, which is very nice."

"I deployed Veeam and it worked very well, but the problem was that its price was very high. As a result, I searched for another solution and found Vembu. I deployed it and we have been happy with it. For us, the major difference was the pricing."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Licensing costs are monthly."

"The solution is rather expensive and I think the price is too high."

"Price-wise it's good."

"The costing is very competitive."

"Licensing costs are $300,000 USD yearly, and we pay for three years at a time."

"We have purchased a license to use Veeam Agent for Linux and the additional support. The overall cost of Veeam Agent for Linux is expensive."

"There's the principal license for Veeam Agent for Linux, and then you need to buy additional licenses for your machines."

"It's a subscription based license, which is started on a yearly basis. Currently the licensing is split between three editions: standard, enterprise, and enterprise plus. As long as you check the comparison between the additions and make sure that you have what you need, there are no extra costs with Veeam."
