Overall Satisfaction with BDRSuite Backup & Replication

I give 8 scale because Vembu BDRSuite has many other features, like cloud, physical Windows, Linux and it update features each year. We just focus on ESXi which works well, but don't have experience of other environment, so give total 8 scale.
We have about 20 virtual machines on about several ESXi 7 host server. Every day We use Vembu BDRSuite to backup virtual machines from hosts to offsite USB disk connected to Vembu server, all the virtual machines are replicated daily to other ESXi 7 hosts. Sometimes virtual machine is defective, we will recover immediately by turn on replication VM or restore from USB backup disk if we need history version.

Pros

  • Daily email report provides all necessary details of the tasks.
  • Scheduled Image Integrity Check confirmed backup data reliability.
  • I can easily allocate Vembu license between VMs on portal. It's useful when I just want to test some VMs.
  • BDRSuite has powerful reports to let me review task status from different direction.

Cons

  • On my BDRSuite server, some backup task reports couldn't show backup data size, then Vembu support solved it.
  • BDRSuite task name can't be changed once it's created. It's not convenient for us if the tasks content is changed.
  • I can't sort task name. For example, our backup task name is started by weekday names, if I want to check Monday tasks brief information, I need to use search box to find out, not able to sort Monday task together.
  • License can be reused to production virtual machines
  • BDRSuite provide seconds level recovery when server is defective
  • BDRSuite is full featured on different environment and it save money

Yes

Did implementation of BDRShield go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BDRShield again?

Yes

It provides reliable daily backup tasks and it is important for us to have no worries of system crush. BDRSuite is full featured, I had been using BDRSuite to replicate servers from Hyper-v to ESXi, it's quite useful and easily to process than other VM migration tools between different platform. BDRSuite costs less than other backup product because I can decrease/increase/allocate license between VMs easily. The license charge two ways, server or VM. We choose VM license.
