Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 24, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform are contenders in the backup software market. Veeam Data Platform holds an advantage due to its advanced features and comprehensive support for diverse environments, beneficial for enterprises requiring robust backup solutions.

Features: BDRSuite focuses on ease of use, automatic backup replication, and MSP rebranding support. Users appreciate its UI simplicity and straightforward setup. Veeam Data Platform excels with reliable instant recovery, extensive replication capabilities, and integration with virtual and physical machine environments.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite needs to improve time zone-related support issues, service reliability, and local hardware integration, along with enhanced documentation and API support. Veeam users report concerns about cost and complexity in licensing, seeking better reporting and improved physical and cloud support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite operates in various cloud environments but struggles with customer service quality and technical support consistency. Veeam matches in deployment flexibility but provides a more dependable support experience, although response time improvements are desired by users of both products.

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

"I am very pleased with the compression, especially with some of the larger SQL databases that need backup. The amount of compression is impressive."

"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."

"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."

"I can choose a point in time and issue the command to back up and I don't need to go in and restore the last full backup and then apply iteratively, sequentially, all the incrementals... I can pick a point in time and tell it I want to go to that state and it's transparent to me. It happens in the background for me."

"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."

"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."

"I enjoy the ease of the UI and how simple it is to use compared to other products."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"Enables us to restore the VM when the needs arises and for disaster recovery."

"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."

"The ability to offload backup snapshots to the SAN helps with reducing the backup durations."

"It is way easier to take backup with Veeam Backup & Replication than the regular ones."

"Storage gateway feature is very flexible."

"The solution is really easy and straightforward to use."

"The solution is quite stable."

"The most valuable features are the backup and restoration of our VMs. Additionally, they add features regularly."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."

"We have not been able to move our backups from one drive to another one. We can only create a storage pool. However, if we want to change a drive, it is not possible to delete one drive as long there is data on it. For this, we have to call the support. While they can solve this, it is not out-of-the-box."

"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."

"The system died twice and it was apparently the result of corrupted disk sectors. I tried to work with tech support to fix it, but they essentially gave up. So twice, I had to rebuild our server."

"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."

"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."

"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"Add an archive option to support legal obligations."

"There are certain shortcomings associated with the virtualization infrastructure."

"It would be ideal if they could capture everything and then timestamp and back up everything up to that timestamp."

"The solution's pricing may be expensive compared to other products."

"The solution could improve by having a version to be compatible with the Linux system. They have improved the storage depository using the Linux proxy and Linux storage, but it can completely run on the Linux environment it would be much better."

"The pricing could be better."

"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."

"The recovery and integration features of Veeam Backup Replication could improve. For example, all VM integration could improve, such as with Hyper-V and VMware."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable, and we focus on SMBs for our customer base."

"The pricing is very good."

"It is affordable. It has value with respect to the features included in the software."

"We were able to take advantage of a promotional pricing campaign."

"I do remember that the pricing was based on a VMware or Hyper-V license, whereas on our end, it should be regarded as a VM-based license. I don't know why they make a difference at the Vembu level. We are currently on VMware migrating to Hyper-V, and we didn't want to buy licenses for VMware, but still have to buy them for Hyper-V. This the only thing which does not seem fully adequate."

"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 license is per unit and is expensive."

"Pricing is fair enough. What was not clear enough in the documentation on the website was that that you're licensing per CPU socket and you are only licensing on the restore sockets, not the backup sockets. It's a bit technical, but it was very well explained during the demonstration that we had during the evaluation period."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"It is more expensive than other solutions."

"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."

"The price is a bit high."

"The cost should be adressed."

"We try to use perpetual licensing, and there are no additional costs. They have recently moved to universal licensing, which is more expensive, and I would like them to go back to host licensing."

"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."

"Our licensing fees are paid yearly and the cost is about $12,000 Swiss Francs ($17,400 USD)."

"The solution's pricing is cheap."
