We performed a comparison between Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows and Vembu BDRSuite based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"We found the initial setup to be quite simple."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"I don't have any major problems with the agent connectivity with Microsoft applications or Microsoft Azure."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager."
"The installation of Veeam Agent is straightforward."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"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."
"Its ease of use and price are most valuable. It is simple and straightforward. Someone who has never used any backup software will easily understand it from the first installation. It is that simple. Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its counterparts."
"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."
"We have seen ROI. The real return is when something bad happens. All the proof of concept work that we did, all the testing we did, it all panned out for us. We're already seeing a return on that."
"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."
"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."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The ability to map a drive and restore a separate file is most valuable. The restoration activity is good."
"Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows should improve by having more features, easier deployment, and compatibility with Unix boxes."
"With the currency exchange, the solution ends up being quite expensive."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"The price of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows could improve."
"A lower price would always be beneficial."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"Maybe they can add some features regarding working with the vCenter cluster to be able to have more power over the cluster overall, not just over a single or specific host. Also, I would like some enhancements in technology for the web interface, e.g., some interactive technologies to advance the interface of Vembu. Although the current interface is very good, maybe they can use more advanced technologies for its web development."
"We do a lot of internal automation, so the Vembu API definitely has some gaps. The Vembu API could definitely use some improvement. We do rely a lot on automation outside of just the regular interface. We've noticed that the Vembu GUI is good, but we do leverage the APIs for a lot of stuff, and there's definitely some room for improvement there."
"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."
"Windows 10 does not have application-aware backups. From my point of view, that's what's existing needs improvement."
"They need to improve their marketing because not many people are aware of it. People ask me what is Vembu, and I have to explain to them it is a good tool for backup and other things."
"I have had issues with new client registrations. There are frequent connectivity issues to the cloud servers. Multiple times, I have had to prove to support that it wasn’t a problem on my end. It always works out in the end, but it is troubling to have the same issues repeated across different clients. Issues eventually get escalated to the cloud team and are mysteriously resolved with no changes on my end."
"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."
"The dashboard should more interactive."
