Executive SummaryUpdated on Feb 3, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and NinjaOne compete in the realm of IT management solutions. BDRSuite holds an edge in backup-specific functions, whereas NinjaOne excels in broader IT management features due to its robust device management and remote access capabilities.

Features: BDRSuite offers automatic backup replication, MSP rebranding support, and a variety of data protection options such as compression and encryption. It is known for its ease of backup and restoration in VMware and Hyper-V environments. NinjaOne provides strong device management, remote access, and customization capabilities. It boasts effective patch management, monitoring functions, and seamless integration with third-party applications.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite struggles with time zone challenges affecting vendor support and lacks a comprehensive hardware solution. There are complexities in automated recovery and setup procedures. NinjaOne needs enhancements in its patch management for third-party applications and a more intuitive ticketing system interface. Both solutions would benefit from improved customer support responsiveness.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite primarily uses on-premises deployment with some hybrid and cloud options, while NinjaOne offers multiple cloud deployment configurations. BDRSuite's customer service is mixed, often slowed by time zone issues, but maintains adequate technical support. NinjaOne’s customer service is relatively standardized, enhancing its customer interaction quality.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is lauded for flexible licensing and affordability, offering cost savings for small to medium enterprises and showing potential ROI within several months. NinjaOne offers subscription-based pricing, deemed reasonable and negotiable at larger scales, with users valuing its feature-rich offering that boosts productivity through IT management tools.

The ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it lets customers choose to restore their data to an hour or a day ago

BDRSuite is better than competing solutions because it can protect, back up, and recover data. A feature called live migration allows you to recover the same data in different environments. For example, I can back up the data from a VMware machine and restore it to a Hyper-V. You can also create repositories and back up environments to a cloud platform like GCP and AWS S3 buckets. BDRSuite allows you to back up virtual machines hosted on an EC3 instance or Microsoft 365 mailboxes, SharePoint, etc. The solution allows us to recover data instantly. We can recover all our data in under 15 minutes. In a virtual environment, we can recover a virtual machine and all its data in under 15 minutes. It's the same for a NAS, SAN, or DAS disk. The ability to boot instantly enables customers to maintain their business operations without interruption. BDRSuite's ability to maintain multiple restore points is critical because it gives customers the option to restore their data to an hour or a day ago. They can choose a full, incremental, or synthetic backup. Incremental backup makes sense if you are backing up the same data daily and you want to save space and network resources. It only backs up the differences or updates in every block. I've worked with lots of backup solutions, and BDRSuite is the easiest to use. It's simple to install and create backup jobs. It doesn't require many tasks to install the solution. You can easily back up and restore from one console

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We invest in the backup so the continuity of the data is not affected."

"The best part of BDRSuite is how user-friendly it is and how it does not require any maintenance after the initial setup."

"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."

"The product is very reliable and works well out of the box; many of our customers are buying it."

"We only use BDRSuite to back up two VMs in our current environment. It helps us with maintenance, monitoring, etc. We are satisfied with BDRSuite so far and plan to add a few more VMs in the future, including Citrix VMs and XenServer."

"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."

"The initial setup is easy and very nice."

"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The policies are probably the most valuable features. They're similar in function to Microsoft group policies where we can have it monitor certain things or push out software on a schedule. I would rate the policies eight out of 10. They're robust, I could monitor most of the things that Windows Performance Monitoring keeps tabs on."

"The most valuable features of NinjaOne include remote desktop management, support and assistive tools, and screen sharing."

"NinjaOne is a great product. It is working and it is always developing."

"We can use it for remote monitoring, and it also works great as a troubleshooting tool. We are able to open up a command line or a PowerShell session remotely without having to disrupt the user. They have a limited network device monitoring capability, but for workstation servers, we have the event logs. We can do performance monitoring, system changes, software deployment, and patch management. We can also push scripts. It has a very simple web interface. There are no additional things to do there. Security is also pretty good. It does the same things that the other competitor's tools do. One of the advantages of Ninja is that they have a more capable mobile app, which allows you to see the alerts immediately. I get alerted to major critical issues."

"Good at managing updates and for remote support."

"A significant feature of NinjaOne is its remote access capability, which is essential for my clients’ home office usage."

"NinjaOne's best feature is its monitoring."

"The most important aspect of this tool is the security it provides our company."

More NinjaOne pros

Cons

"The process is a bit cumbersome when you remove an agent, delete that job, and add the agent to the same server. Even though the agent is already installed in that server, the system does not recognize it. We have to uninstall the current agent, restart the server, install the push agent - a new agent - and then restart the server. I think they should try to avoid that."

"The response time of the support could be improved a little bit. Sometimes, I need to wait for two or three hours to get support. With VMware, we can get urgent support in an hour. Other than that, I'm pretty good with BDRSuite."

"The reports are at a basic level and there is room for improvement there. It only has historical reports and VM backup job-level reports."

"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."

"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."

"We are still exploring its features, but we want to see more features that we desire over time."

"Vembu's website doesn't clearly state that their software is designed for tape libraries, not standalone drives."

"Vembu will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The NinjaOne distribution server is highly dependent on an active directory."

"The ticketing system in NinjaOne is not the best."

"The remote connectivity could be better. It works most of the time, but sometimes, there are issues."

"I would like to see more scripts for PowerShell commands."

"The reporting is lackluster. NinjaOne is great for maintaining systems, but it's hard to use it to understand the state that systems are in without going in and mining the information myself. I rate the reporting two out of 10."

"NinjaOne's dashboard could be easier to use."

"The inclusion of XENServer and Proxmox as virtual platforms in NinjaOne is currently missing."

"I would like to see the software reduced to focus on inventory or remote help tools since many of its current functionalities are not needed."

More NinjaOne cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price is reasonable as compared to other solutions. There are no additional costs. While increasing the count on the server-side, we have to take care of managing or optimizing the license."

"The subscription model that we're signed up for is very good. The only thing that is something of a sticking point is the fact that you can't do PO-based licensing. It's all just credit card."

"When they changed to the newest version (4.1), they have more VMs allowed on the free version. Before, there were only three VMs allowed on the free version, and if you needed to back up more than three VMs, you had to get the paid version. Now, you can have up to 10 VMs on the free version."

"Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its counterparts. I like its pricing, and its price is okay. The lesser they take, the more profit we can make, but we are happy with its price. It is very affordable. We were working with a client, and they were looking for backup software and had a very tight budget. When I told them that Vembu is only going to cost around $400 to $500, they were shocked. They didn't believe me, so I showed them the website so that they can check the price themselves. Of course, if they agree to that price, we get a 15% rebate as a managed service provider."

"At the moment, I am doing Vembu for one host. My costs are about $25 USD a month for a single host up to 100 VMs."

"It's just the license per host with one CPU, but if I did choose offsite cloud replication, they do charge for the data. They charge per gigabyte, or something like that. They have plans."

"With the free version of Vembu, you receive three virtual machine backups. However, if you buy the NetworkBackup Enterprise version, you don't have access to the features seen in the free version. This is a situation that Vembu should solve. This caused a misunderstanding between sales and us. I was hoping if I buy the licenses, then after the trial I would not have to purchase virtual machine licenses. Maybe they should offer these three virtual machine backups as part of the Enterprise license."

"It has actually benefited my operation a fair bit. VMware requires a special hardware while Hyper-V runs on pretty much anything. It doesn't require any special hardware, so it saves a bit of money. Because Vembu does Hyper-V backup, there is no limit on how many VMs you can have. The newer version has a 100 VM limit on the single license, which has been greatly beneficial, because on one host a 100 VMs is a fair bit."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"NinjaOne is a little expensive but is still cheaper than competitors like Acronis or Veeam."

"NinjaOne's price is fine since my workplace is an educational institution, so we get the product at a really good price considering that we do not pay taxes, making the prices very fair and worth the product."

"The product's pricing depends on the number of PCs or devices."

"It roughly costs $400 a month. It provides a good value because of the number of tools that you get in the solution. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing. There are no additional costs other than the standard licensing fees."

"We got a pretty good deal. It was fairly affordable."

"I rate the solution’s pricing a five out of ten, where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."

"NinjaRMM uses a subscription model."

"We currently pay $1.20 per device on a monthly basis."
