Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 29, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform compete in the data backup and recovery category. Veeam Data Platform takes the upper hand due to its comprehensive solutions tailored for high-security enterprise environments.

Features: BDRSuite is recognized for user-friendly features, automatic backup replication, and effective compression which aids in reducing manual tasks through its intuitive GUI. It also supports MSP rebranding. Veeam Data Platform includes instant VM recovery, SureBackup, and enhanced encryption, making it ideal for enterprises needing robust security and rapid restoration in virtual environments.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite users find the support lacking during critical times and highlight the need for more comprehensive documentation. They desire a more effective support system. Veeam faces challenges with its complex licensing models and higher costs, which may not suit smaller businesses, and calls for better integration with non-Microsoft environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite is appreciated for its straightforward setup, and flexibility across on-premises and cloud deployments, catering well to small and medium businesses but needs to improve technical support responsiveness. Veeam boasts efficient deployment with strong hybrid and cloud integrations but shares similar support issues, with delays during non-business hours despite having knowledgeable staff.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is considered affordable for SMBs, offering strong features at a low cost and achieving favorable ROI with low upfront and ongoing costs. Veeam offers flexible pricing with perpetual and subscription licenses; its ROI is justified by an extensive feature set that benefits larger organizations, especially those requiring robust data protection and quick recovery.

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 most valuable feature is the ability, from a console, to manage the different computers to be backed up."

"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."

"The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."

"I am able to run Vembu on Windows NAS, which is beneficial. It does install on a Windows-based NAS. You can have the server running from the location where you are storing backups. You don't need a separate server for it in this case."

"It's easy to restore."

"I get my backups done."

"If we do a backup of a machine at some point and the server crashes, then we can restore this machine to a different server with the same settings and setup. We will just have to tweak one or two things, like the IP. Then, it is ready to go."

"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The tool is a stable backup solution."

"Replication Job base on a source HPE Catalyst store to perform a full reconstruction of our production systems on our third datacenter, which is our DRP Site."

"It has an intuitive interface, and it provides us with successful backups without needing to tweak or do any adjusting. We just set it up and like their ad says, "It Just Works.""

"For virtualization it's perfect."

"Very flexible, all-in-one solution."

"The integration of Veeam Backup Replication is very good."

"The solution is very easy to deploy."

"The most valuable aspects are the latest features in version 12.1, which introduced enhanced security features."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"There are some limitation in Vembu that can be improved. When you take the backup from any server, the full incremental backup is limited. For example, if you run a weekly full backup and monthly backup, they cannot be run at the same time. I should not have to create a new job, but in this scenario, I am creating two jobs. The limitation is created because if I select monthly backup, then I cannot select weekly backup."

"It is very easy, unless you know exactly what you're doing, to corrupt the virtual machines and they get locked up. Just brief detail: When you are creating a system, if you don't have absolutely every other little background processes in place, it creates Snapshots of the virtual machines. Once it does that, it then won't be able to have a backup. From that point on you have to destroy the virtual machine, which is completely counterproductive on a large system. There is a fundamental flaw in the setup that can be very dangerous, potentially."

"I have not been impressed by the data compression of the backup images. They seem to take up nearly as much space on the backup drive as they do on the server."

"It would be good to have a volume licensing discount. We're a managed IT service provider, so we're backing up not just our own systems but all our clients'. In that regard, as we grow, we're putting business through Vembu. There is not any specific partner incentive at all. So that would be nice to see."

"The dashboard should more interactive."

"Vembu will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."

"I have had issues where it was working and then it stopped and I had to diagnose what had changed or gone wrong to get it back up."

"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."

"Creating reports is a bit difficult, and you have to spend some time on it."

"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."

"Perhaps the interface could be improved, though it has always been fine for me."

"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."

"OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future."

"The backup and integration could be improved."

"The threshold could be easier to configure."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Take a look at the pricing and licensing closely. When we installed the BDR disaster recovery server, which is the duplication of the backup data on one server onto a second one where the backup data resides, it was not clear that this DR server needed two other licenses. These licenses were to back up the copy of the first backup server that had two licenses for the two physical host that it was backing up in the first place. Moving files around to a second DR server, why would I need an extra two licenses? I don't know if it's to make money, but it was not very obvious and I had to abort the project from there because I didn't plan to pay for extra licenses to copy data of the first two physical servers. I also didn't understand why it was needed. Hopefully, they will improve the explanation in the documentation for this."

"I selected this solution because it was the only one I could find for the cost that did what I needed it to do. I haven't found a competitor who does as good a job for the money."

"The pricing and licensing structure are spot on. I don't think there's anything out there in the market that does either the licensing structure or the pricing structure better."

"The best thing about the product is the license management. It is a true managed service provider solution. It has a good price. The licensing is quite flexible, which is one of the most important things for us."

"BDRSuite is competitively priced."

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

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Its software solution has a fee."

"The pricing of the solution could be reduced."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication could be reduced. The customers are looking at other products because the price is higher than some of the competition."

"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."

"The pricing is reasonable and falls within the average range."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Veeam Data Platform, it's pay-as-you-go. So, the more options you choose, the more consumption you have in monthly billing."

"I understand from management that the DR component is too expensive."
