Helps automate backups, and integrates seamlessly, but doesn't work well with standalone drives
BDRSuite takes the hassle out of backups by automating the start time, eliminating the need for late-night office visits to manually initiate the process. BDRSuite enables near-instantaneous data recovery, with even our largest multi-terabyte restoration only taking five to ten minutes. That is quick for a backup. The quick recovery is extremely important to us. We want to have as little downtime as possible. Granular restore options in BDRSuite are crucial. They allow us to recover individual files without restoring the entire system. This means we can retrieve a lost file without wiping out any progress made since it was lost, saving significant time and effort. The incremental backups are great! By only backing up changed data, they reduce stress on our servers and drives, which in turn extends the lifespan of our machines. The backup and scheduling options are great in BDRSuite. I can choose individual times a day down to a minute essentially. Usually, what we do is we set all of our backups to start at midnight so there's nobody in the office, and there's no work that can be interrupted by the backup in the worst-case scenario. It is extremely easy to add and remove backup jobs using BDRSuite. We select the backup that we're trying to remove, and we just delete it from there. We have to make sure whatever storage it was using is cleared off our machine. Backing up our virtual machines is crucial, especially since some store medical records. To ensure continued operation and data protection, BDRSuite provides us with a backup solution for our business needs. Thanks to the breadth of backup coverage provided by Vembu, we have been able to stop relying on multiple backup solutions for different data sources. We were using Windows Backup in a couple of the WD external drives and now we only use Vembu across all of our data sources. It was extremely easy to integrate BDRSuite with our existing infrastructure.

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I selected this solution because it was the only one I could find for the cost that did what I needed it to do. I haven't found a competitor who does as good a job for the money."
"The best thing about the product is the license management. It is a true managed service provider solution. It has a good price. The licensing is quite flexible, which is one of the most important things for us."
"There is a drawback in the whole approach about how the licenses are managed. There are two consoles: cloud and on-premise. It seems that on a daily basis we have to manage both consoles, which isn't user-friendly. Ideally, it should be either a single on-premise console or only a cloud console. A single platform approach is the better solution. For now, with full licensing, you have to manage your instances on the Vembu Portal, then reassign licenses, and go back to your on-premise management console to do the real management. It is a bit awkward."
"For our company, the current price of Vembu against Veeam is a few times cheaper. In our infrastructure, if we picked Veeam, we would have to pay about $20,000 per year. Now, we are currently paying about $2,000 per year for Vembu. You can do the math. The price is great."
"Vembu is too expensive because they don't really have small-business pricing. This is a matter of personal opinion. They're going to tell you that they have competitive pricing because there are more expensive solutions in the marketplace, but there are better solutions in the marketplace that are more expensive. Their product is a better fit for small businesses, but they don't price it that way."
"To continue to do backups, we fell back to Windows Backup mode. We are still using the tool, but not in the manner in which we would have wanted. The tool purchase doesn't cover all options of the tool, e.g., if I go in and buy it, I have to buy it licensed for VMware Backups, not Windows Backups. At this point, what had to happen was they had to allow it to operate in Windows Backup so I could continue to back up the VMs, but in a trial mode. The trial mode has been extended once, and now we're reaching the limit of that extension again. Because I still haven't been able to update the production VMware environment such that the tool will operate in it in the manner in which I want it to operate, I'm stuck having to go back again to say, "Sorry, I need to extend this trial on it again." Even though I've paid, I'm still only able to operate in a trial mode. So, it's been difficult for us."
"The pricing is fair."
"Pricing is fair enough. What was not clear enough in the documentation on the website was that that you're licensing per CPU socket and you are only licensing on the restore sockets, not the backup sockets. It's a bit technical, but it was very well explained during the demonstration that we had during the evaluation period."
