Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 22, 2024

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform compete in the data backup and replication software category. Veeam Data Platform appears to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive features, superior integration with virtual platforms, and robust data protection capabilities.

Features: BDRSuite offers ease of use, robust compression, and diverse backup options supporting application-specific and agentless backups. Veeam Data Platform stands out for comprehensive backup capabilities, replication options, and robust data protection, including continuous data backup and rapid restoration processes.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite faces challenges with time zone differences affecting support service responsiveness and inconsistent technical support. Improved handling of specific backup scenarios and documentation is suggested. Veeam struggles with its evolving pricing structure, the need for broadened application support, and native cloud integration improvements, along with a convoluted licensing model.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite offers flexible deployment options including on-premises, private, and hybrid cloud, though time zone differences affect support response times. Veeam provides versatile deployment across various environments but has mixed customer service reviews with some delays in support.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is cost-effective for small businesses with affordable licensing models, though advanced features may be pricier. Veeam offers robust features for larger enterprises with a complex licensing model that can be costly due to recent price increases. BDRSuite provides better upfront affordability, while Veeam is suitable for scalable enterprise needs.

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

"Adding and removing backup jobs using BDRSuite is easy and also includes great documentation."

"Moving to cloud backups eliminated the need for clients to change USB drives or worry about drives being stored offsite."

"Because all our servers are hosted on VMware, the VMware backup is the most valuable feature. The integration and backup with VMware are very good."

"It's easy to restore."

"The compression, encryption, and deduplication features all work fine."

"If we do a backup of a machine at some point and the server crashes, then we can restore this machine to a different server with the same settings and setup. We will just have to tweak one or two things, like the IP. Then, it is ready to go."

"It helps me with restores. I can repeat a test multiple times: Do the test, the restore, and then test again. It saves me time because I don't have to rebuild the VMs every time."

"It makes it possible for us to back up our Unix machines without installing a host, client, or any client software. It gives us some peace of mind in regards to those servers getting backed up."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance."

"It has helped us to protect our IP address and critical information."

"Its stability and scalability were the main reasons for going for this solution. It is highly scalable, and its stability is also powerful. It has a friendly interface, and its monitoring and performance are the best in the market."

"The backup and replication capabilities are quite good."

"The features that I have found most valuable are its ease of management, it is not complicated, it is very reliable, has good support and a lot of knowledge on the market for integrators."

"The solution can work for companies no matter the size or scope."

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."

"Veeam Data Platform copies data very efficiently."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"They can work on their cloud solution. In these days, the data becomes too much and you have to back up a lot of data to the site. They could offer cheaper storage to their clients with the cloud, making this a single source of truth solution. In our project, we are using two service providers: One who offers our storage and another who offers the software. If they work on their cloud solution and can offer their clients lower prices for this type of storage, this would be a really good improvement."

"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."

"I have had issues with new client registrations. There are frequent connectivity issues to the cloud servers. Multiple times, I have had to prove to support that it wasn’t a problem on my end. It always works out in the end, but it is troubling to have the same issues repeated across different clients. Issues eventually get escalated to the cloud team and are mysteriously resolved with no changes on my end."

"The only place where I would really want to see improvement, out the gate, is more granular scheduling... If I want to do an offset or to only do two backups on Friday and Saturday - versus whole hourly incrementals during the week - I don't have that granularity right now."

"They need to improve their marketing because not many people are aware of it. People ask me what is Vembu, and I have to explain to them it is a good tool for backup and other things."

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

"Vembu BDR currently supports backups of O365, although it does not currently have an email archiving function to the O365 backups."

"I had a small problem integrating VMware and Hyper-V when customers used a free VMware license to create VMs. This is a problem because many customers use the free version of VMware. There are also some issues backing up old systems. They have a little difficulty but can always get strong support from customer service."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."

"The reports are basic and not customizable, making it challenging to get detailed insights."

"Veeam's biggest limitation is the lack of integration. I can't use the tool because there is no integration between the tool and the environment."

"Scalability, as well as licensing costs, need to be improved."

"The parallel backup process from the Veeam server to Veeam has some limitations. The number of parallel backups should be increased and the compressional is very low. Sometimes it is half or one-third, but other backup solutions' compression levels are very high."

"We would like to see support for some additional storage systems."

"In the future, I would like to see better support for direct backup to tape."

"I feel that the product's support team needs improvement."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. I am okay with it."

"The pricing is very good."

"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."

"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."

"I've purchased and been licensed for one aspect of it, which is my preferred method, but the pricing and licensing will not work for the short-term and I can't draw back."

"The license is per unit and is expensive."

"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."

"It helps us deliver an enterprise-level data protection solution and reduce budgets at a price that - and we don't want to encourage them to change their pricing - is a great value."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"The license cost is per socket, per processor. We can have one license with two processors and we can cover everything inside of the test environment that we have."

"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."

"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."

"There is a license required for this solution and the price is a bit expensive but it depends on the environment that you have on how much it will cost."

"It is relatively cheap."

"The price of Veeam Backup & Replication is reasonable compared to IBM."

"It is highly cost-effective when compared to other solutions."

"My understanding is that it is a fairly small price point."
