We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Veeam 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 get my backups done."
"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."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."
"The most valuable features for me are that I can back up the entire virtual machine, but when restoring I can restore at the file level."
"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."
"It's easy to restore."
"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."
"It's got a very good user-friendly interface. It's easy to use."
"I'm pleased with the ability to search for documents; it's very useful."
"It lets you verify a backup with the least amount of effort."
"It's relatively easy to use and the ability to recover in a short period of time has been great."
"It's a pretty complete product."
"The most valuable feature is the instant recovery."
"The solution is easy to use and have good performance."
"The solution is a user-friendly interface."
"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."
"I have seen that the BDRSuite user interface can be less intuitive and more challenging to navigate compared to other similar products."
"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."
"It is not a well-known software. People do not know about Vembu."
"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."
"In the beginning, when we had some hiccups, I would chalk that up more to a learning curve for the product."
"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."
"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."
"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."
"Restoration takes about two to four hours with Veeam. Zerto can restore in about 10 seconds. That's the restoration speed I'm looking for now that we're dealing with ransomware."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
"I like the Acronis backup solutions on the block-based part of backups. That is a functionality that Veeam does not provide."
"The tech support could be better."
"The ability to do more backups should be addressed."
"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."
"My main concern about Veeam is that I hope our backups will still be secure in the event of a security incident such as a ransomware attack. In Veeam version 11 they do state that there is ransomware protection, but until it has been proven to be effective, I don't have any assurance that it will prevent data loss."
