Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

I'll repeat- the product does a great job but, in my opinion, the user interfaces suck. I'm often left guessing what is going on in the background and navigating the interfaces is cryptic - maybe it's a language or translation issue. I need to give my clients better reports than stuff is backed up and restorable. With cleaner interfaces and more tools to evaluate the backups this could be a superior product. Then the licensing! In my opinion, the licensing model is worse than Microsoft and after three years it still is a mess. This needs to be fixed!

It's pretty intuitive, easy to setup and get running. It is difficult to move your installation though, so choose your location wisely.

The suite web interface is very easy and logical to use and configure. The menu system and items make logical sense. It is also nice being able to configure multiple items or products from within one console, like licensing, storage, email notifications, recovery options, and obviously back and retention items.

Friendly web interface very clear, nicely and professionally designed. Usability, setup and forget. It has all features you need for hybrid environments even if you don't use it. You know the features are there when you needed. Email report is so informative. You get all the details about completed backup without logging in the system.

As outlined in are parts of this review, I have various issues with the way their KB center is structured and how error codes aren't documented or KBs for a specific error provide steps for older versions of the software and aren't applicable to the current version because of a design layout change. "Go here and select Y" where the "here" has been removed and doesn't exist anymore. Or they release a new version without any supporting documentation even though they restructured a lot of the interface and updated the error messages.

The restore via CD is a sticking point. Most systems no longer have optical media. Bootable USB is a must. The interface has improved with new releases. Backups are easy to set up. Reporting is good.

Vembu is easy to configure and manage. The primary reason for not giving it a full 10 out of 10 is the odd placement of some settings withing the management portal. Overall, though, configuring and maintaining backups as well as the restoration process is fluid and easy to navigate.

Vembu BDR Suite is very easy to set up and can be running within minutes. The recovery process is simple and straightforward. My only problem was the not so great interface. Sometimes the interface seems clunky.
