How BDRSuite Differs From Its Competitors

Decision Factors

After working enterprise and consumer grade products, this is a good entry level product for small businesses. Cost effective and mostly reliable. Recovery is simple so that end user clients can restore.

Other Considerations

Yes we did. We researched: Carbonite, idrive, backblaze, wasabi, Acronis, crashplan, icloud, and others. Ultimately we recommend Vembu BDRSuite because it does disk-to-disk-to-cloud backups which gives my clients added protection.

Decision Factors

Obviously, the most important thing to consider is the ability to recover data, systems, or applications. Response time for communication with sales and technical support in case of emergency is also a top point. Cost will always be an important point with both small and large infrastructures. The …

Physical Server Support

We have been able to utilize several of the suite offerings. The virtual backup solution is very robust, quick, and stable. multiple recovery options exist and are very easy to use. The client for physical devices is also very easy to configure and use. The cloud copy feature is a must-have.

Other Considerations

Originally clear back to the earlier days when they had a product called Storegrid I had researched many other companies that had similar offerings. R backup, Carbonite, Acronis, and Nova backup but they all seemed less sophisticated. Symantec had a good local-only solution as well. Veeam was the …

We mostly use it for ESXi VM instance backup. We take Full and Incremental backup which is very useful especially for large size VM. Backups don't consume lots of space. This feature saved us so much space on the NAS storage. We are planning to implement BDRSuite SQL server backup capability very …

The single most important factor is reliability. Their backup reports provide me with peace of mind.

Their availability to support in the event there are issues is important. Sometimes language barriers or time zones are an issue, but I am confident they will eventually get back to me.

Decision Factors

The flexible hybrid solution that BDRSuite provides along with reasonable pricing made us decide for this product instead of its competitors. Our customers wanted a solution with a backup copy stored outside their sites to protect against total disaster and they also wanted quick and easy restore. …

Today we only use backup of virtual servers, but I have experience with physical backup as well. Both have always worked great to provide a good and stable product that sells easily to our customers.

Basically, offsite replication and price made it easy to make my decision regarding BDR; no other tool has the ability to license one single VM for offsite replication.

The most important factors for us are disaster recovery and a guarantee that backups are recoverable. Test restores and sandboxing are essential.

Altaro - Only VM backups, not physical. We use it in conjunction with Vembu. Veeam - Too expensive and bad reports about managing licenses on the forums.

Decision Factors

Price and Tech Support were our major factors. There are a lot of backup options out there that do pretty much the same thing. Tech support is lacking terribly in most cases. Vembu BDR Suite is the exception to this. For the features you get along with great tech support, you simply can't beat the …

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We mainly use BDRSuite to backup ESXi VMs. Creating backup is very straightforward and recovering is easy with few clicks. Backups also consume very low space on the NAS storage. BDRSuite is the best option for all in one backup needs for our company. Also their pricing is very budget friendly compare to other costly Enterprise products.
Pros and Cons
  • Backup
  • Web Interface
  • Support multiple environments
  • Reasonable pricing
  • Having different section for managing old backups
  • Full backup and Incremental backup is a little bit challenging, should be more friendly setup
  • When I click on configured backup it should go to the list of backup history instead of its configuration.
Likelihood to Recommend
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.
