Overall Satisfaction with Vembu BDR Suite

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.
We use Vembu BDR Suite across our company as our server and data backup solution. Vembu BDR Suite addresses all of our disaster recovery needs.

Pros

  • Easy to manage backup and restore
  • Centralized management solution
  • Backup encryption
  • Good versioning of files

Cons

  • Web based layout can be tricky
  • Licensing portal is cumbersome
  • Backup alerts can be obnoxious
  • Rest easy knowing data is backed up
  • No reliance on third parties for backup
  • No time spent troubleshooting backup scripts
The primary alternative to Vembu would be Veeam. This would be my second choice in a close race. If I remember correctly, Veeam only supported virtualized environments until just after my decision to go with Vembu. We had also previously tried Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager, which while it did work was overkill for our environment, and I think EOL now.
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.
