We were using traditional backup tools to do the job and it was a time-consuming job. Moreover, it was not a reliable solution. When we learned about Vembu BDR, we downloaded and evaluated it to its full potential. To our surprise, it was very easy to use, faster and reliable.
Vembu really helped us with automating virtual machine backups. It saves a lot of time and we have peace of mind. Vembu meets important fundamental needs of our organization.,The most important things is that it's very easy to configure and has faster deployment.
Very good compression ratio and backups are faster than traditional VM backup tools.
Forever incremental is another useful feature which will save storage space.,Mount image as volume is not working for Linux VMs, it would have been better with this feature working.
The web management console should be improved with detailed VM backup reports.,10,Keeping in mind that data protection is most important, Vembu helps with ensuring business continuity, therefore it's a value for money we spend.,Easy to configure and use.Pricing was quite cheaper compared to other solutions.Overall we have been satisfied with the performance.,In our case, we didn't have any reliable backup solutions until we came across Vembu BDR. Vembu has really made our VM backups easier, automated the backup process and will keep our data safe and ensure business continuity. Our production servers are now safe from data loss.,Yes, really we have benefited from this, as I mentioned earlier, the built-in compression feature helps reduce storage space which will be a boon for us with limited storage space. We can meet our backup needs. We are not using encryption as it may reduce the backup speed.,9,Veeam Backup & Replication and Altaro Hyper-V BackupHariesh NairVembu BDR Suite Review2018-09-13T20:50:24.741ZIt is used by the IT department to back up all of our server VMs. It addresses the business problems of disaster recovery and continuity.,User-friendly web UI
Ease of setting up a backup VM
Responsive customer service,Cryptic error messages that can be hard to troubleshoot
Licensing requirements can be difficult to understand
More information on what is fixed in releases would be helpful,10,For organizations that use different tools for backup and recovery, this could be the single tool for storage and backup administrators to automate and work effectively.
Software cost is less than our previous solution, thus the money can be invested in other tools/software procurement.,Vembu BDR Suite is a single backup and recovery tool with all the basic features covered. I really liked the fast image backups and restoration time. Image backups can be opened without restoring and mounting as a disk. That was really a helpful feature that saves time in restoring the right back up.,We have been using it for our VMware on-premises environment and it is
functioning pretty good and does its job. We do not currently license the physical bare-metal option.,We have not used this feature.,10,Unitrends Recovery Series Backup Appliance and Acronis BackupJesse FurrVembu BDR Suite is awesome!2018-08-28T20:03:15.987ZWe are using the BDR Suite to backup multiple customer servers and workstations, all departments. So far we have experienced only workstation failures and the backups helped us restore the users’ data when rebuilding the workstation.,More reliable than any other backup solution
Amazing support from Vembu
Great price,Reporting can be better, I liked StoreGrid for reporting and some of that functionality is missing in BDR360.
When on backup reports graph mode, you can see the number of missed or failed backups but after clicking on the graph nothing happens. I would like to see the problem machines coming up.
Missing delete options for customers.,10,Vembu helped us provide backup services to small and medium-size companies, at a very competitive price,The cost, ability to backup any sort of VM or OS, the free support and how easy it is to deploy Vembu BDR.,We are backing up many laptops (physical) and few server (virtual). The restores have always worked and helped us meet the SLAs.,I was not aware of HIVE, we are already using the encryption option for security & compliance and the compression option to save on storage.,10,NAKIVO Backup & Replication, Altaro Hyper-V Backup and Solarwinds BackupAdrian TakacsVembu Review2018-08-31T16:49:24.439ZI used it just as a file backup application. It did not solve any problems, and instead created more.,None,The whole GUI interface needs a revamp. The reporting is terrible.
Push installation/adding clients to backup does not seem to effectively work.
I believe that there can be a lot of improvements done and they can base it out of existing backup softwares.,1,Vembu is not serving my purposes, but since investment was small I can easily jump back to another backup software,Cost was the major factor.,We were not benifitted,1Vipin ThulaseedharanHappy with Vembu’s technical remote support team.2018-08-28T17:46:29.127ZI recently had to engage with Vembu’s remote support and engineering teams to assist with a complex data restoration. The support teams were professional and well informed and turned a dire situation into a successful restore. My experience with Vembu’s technical teams surpassed my expectations and I am very happy with the results.,Technical support
Support escalations
Engaging development and engineering teams to solve a problem.,I wish I was given the option of phone support at the time I entered my ticket.,8,Their support clearly helped us prevent a substantial data loss. For this, it certainly helped my overall business objectives.,We are a MSP and support various platforms from our clients. Vembu is one of them.,We are only exposed to their physical BDR platform - StorGrid. I cannot comment on their virtualized solution.,The file compression appeared to be quite effective at over 100%.,7Edward Morando
