We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and NAKIVO 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."The initial setup is easy and very nice."
"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."
"We are now using it 24/7 because it is serving as an online backup, and very soon, the DR will activated on the product."
"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."
"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."
"BDRSuite can help organizations save time and money by automating backup and recovery processes and reducing the need for manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"It backs up our virtual machines with the CBT, Changed Block Tracking."
"The back-up and restore functions work great and it's easy to use."
"We are able to take backups on a regular interval and restore data/VMs as we choose making the process work as advertised."
"The interface is basic and very easy to use which is what we are looking for."
"Cloud integration is valuable because the ability to not only backup locally, but to the cloud, has been a great addition to the already fantastic product."
"With Nakivo, I have the peace of mind that all of my production environment is safely backed up and can be restored safely, easily, and quickly with a few clicks."
"The backup and replication are great."
"The most valuable feature is the support, as it is directly from Nakivo and it is possible to send a support request that contains all of the technical data on the environment, as well as the software, required for the answer."
"Nakivo has been instrumental in strengthening our data security infrastructure."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."
"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's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."
"I suggest that the dump of the database have the option to either be backed up to Vembu Cloud or be backed up to all backup sites and not only to default storage."
"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"Space is always an issue."
"I would love to see compatibility with KVM Backup."
"The only thing I could say is maybe some more options for job scheduling are needed."
"The first implementation is a bit difficult but once is up and running is rock solid and extremely easy to manage."
"They need to add a failover feature to the Essential Pro license in case the environment is a simple virtual environment and the client does not need to upgrade."
"More statistic options would be a great feature."
"There are some errors requiring support to correct and bugs and glitches should be addressed."
"The way encryption is currently working could be improved. Currently, it's not possible to encrypt the backup to an NFS share directly. It needs to have the encryption within the Transporter/VM to enable encryption, which isn't optimal. So I'm hoping that in the near future this function will be implemented."
