While it is hard to be a catch-all backup solution, I think they do a great job with so many variations of products that really give us peace of mind in case recovery is needed. Most of the diverse products we will never use, but I can see other larger companies having the need.

First of all Web UI makes it so much easier to manage, with few clicks you can schedule a backup, you can see the progress and you can instantly recover it. There is a multiple environment support which is great for hybrid environments. Pricing is more reasonable than other high priced backup solutions.

BDRSuite is great at doing traditional server backup and/or backup of selected workstations. BDRSuite can do quick restores since the backup server is running at the customer site. In addition security can be enhanced with an Offsite DR server to maintain a replica of the backup data.
In case of small businesses with only a few workstations and no centralized server BDRSuite is less usable. It would nice though if the Offsite DR server could do a backup of single workstations over the internet.

Well, it is suited for backups for Hyper-V virtualization and off-site replication. It´s less appropriate for someone that needs to automate actions; there are no script possibilities using BDR. There´s no simple migration/move to another server. It´s the right tool to have a basic backup and replication at a fair price.

Back up 10 VMs with the free version/trial and perform restores or backup a single physical server such as a domain controller. The ability to trial a product for a long period of time allows for real-world use cases to occur where you can see the strengths and weaknesses of the product.

Vembu BDR is successful to combine all necessary backup features needed, from local file backup to cloud computing solutions like AWS and Microsoft Azure.The new upgrades to fix small bugs takes long time to be released, instead fresh installation comes first.

Works great for my VM-based backup including SQL, EMail, and File servers. etc. It has proven quick and reliable at performing its functions. The encryption algorithm is out of sight. Flexibility in recovery options is numerous to be able to restore and re-mount backups. The redundancy has proven very successful.

Vetted Review

Vembu suits DR requirements but needs constant monitoring and management. Linux-based clients will find the Linux implementation more difficult. A configured Linux VM appliance for download would be preferred.
Not suited to small business without experienced IT support. A small business will often use a Win 10 workstation to run the backups as Windows server can be out of the budget. This configuration has issues with drive limitations Vembu tends to be more problematic.

Score 10 out of 10

I've been working with nearly every backup program for more than 25 years from small shops to corporations with thousands of users. Vembu BDR [Suite] is a great product for any business, large or small. It is missing a couple of options that maybe the most popular one has but it doesn't prevent protecting your business. When budget is an issue it's by far the best option. Being able to provide it to our clients is an added bonus since that makes it so much easier to manage when everyone is using the same product. When it comes to technical support, I haven't experienced support like Vembu Support in years. They are quick to respond, happy to remotely connect if desired and seem to really understand their product well. Many others I've worked with refuse to help, and send responses that have nothing to do with my question or they simply provide a link to a document and basically tell me to read and figure it out myself. Often that document does not relate to my issue. I've always done my research before contacting support and that kind of response is one of the biggest reasons we decided to look elsewhere and after many trials and deep testing, ultimately switched to Vembu. Vembu has been rock solid, fast, and tech support has been top-notch. The biggest place I would say that VembuBDR is less appropriate is when you have the desire to backup your physical systems to multiple internal storage devices and want a secondary backup as a safety net and don’t want to risk that the backup itself is corrupt or infected and your only other option is a mirrored copy of that data. I know they are working hard on adding features and I’m excited to know version 5 is releasing soon.

Vembu's sweet spot is backing up VMware and Hyper-V. Since it is agent-less, deployment is very simple. Vembu can also image any PC/Server on the network. You need an additional PC to be able to image another PC and sometimes that isn't always available.

It’s the fastest software we’ve tested so far for backing up full disks and partitions. Its CPU usage during backup is also commendably light.
This software covers all the usual backup processes, and can easily create complex routines, including automated backup.
Home users are FREE for a single PC, which offers protection against data loss, ransomware, and hardware failure.

Vembu BDR Suite is suited to any medium to large organization requiring reliable backups. It is well suited to organizations with offsite hosted servers for disaster recovery and replication. There aren't really any scenarios I wouldn't recommend Vembu BDR Suite for.

Vembu [BDR Suite] adapts very well to virtual environments such as Vmware and Hyper-V, allowing you to easily manage backups and other tasks that are assigned, in addition to this it already has the integration for office 365 and G-suite which will allow integration practically complete with all the platforms most used by companies today. Although in the virtual part I have no complaints, in the physical environment there can be a lot of improvement in terms of centralized administration and management of endpoint backups.

Best for virtual servers

Vembu BDR Suite seems to work best when most of your servers are virtual. The system is really easy to set up and configure multiple machines in a virtual environment. You simply sign in using the root password and all of your servers populate. While not really harder, it is simply more time consuming to set up multiple traditional servers.
