Room For Improvement

BDRShield faces criticism for its complex UI, lacking features, support issues, and limited integration and stability options.
<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery needs UI improvements, feature scalability, better pricing, enhanced security, and improved support and documentation.</p>
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Director at Switact
Many customers do not rely on just one cloud provider and want to work with multiple clouds.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
I can suggest using the recovery time objective system, where current state systems can be restored in about zero downtime.
Cloud Engineer at PowerSchool
When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups.

BDRShield provides cost-effective, flexible pricing options with some licensing complexity, praised for affordability and user-friendly experience.
<p>Infrascale Backup &amp; Disaster Recovery offers flexible, competitive pricing with clear costs, ideal for enterprises seeking scalable solutions.</p>
To someone considering Infrascale but is concerned about the price, I would say that they should get Infrascale's service no matter what it costs because any downtime or any loss of data is substantially worse than any cost for backup.
President at IT1 Service
We recently renewed one of our agreements with them, and even though we were going to renew anyway, they added more margin in terms of a discount for us for renewing early.
Co-Founder | Director | CTO | vCISO | Lead Consultant Infrastructure & Cloud at UBIQUITY Ltd
The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees

Director at Switact
Performing backup and recovery can be done very intuitively with the solution and the interface that is part of the solution.
President at a media company with 11-50 employees
What I like the most about it is that backups and restores are simple, straightforward, and clean.

Featured Reviews

Thomas Roes - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Switact
Ease of backup and restore improves data management with reliable support
The interface of BDRSuite Backup & Replication is pretty intuitive. Regarding their marketing strategy, I'm very bad at marketing. I always get a little edgy when people try to shove their product in my face. There are two sides to the story. If you don't know something exists, you might not even start to look for it unless you really know that you need it. If you are explicitly looking for a solution, then you'll find it. People that don't know that they should do backup don't have a place in IT. I rate BDRSuite Backup & Replication 8.5 out of 10.
Vivek_Jaiswal - PeerSpot reviewer
Security Engineer at LTI Mindtree
Cloud backups have strengthened ransomware recovery and now protect critical business data
I see several areas where Infrascale Backup & Disaster Recovery could be improved. First is the architectural design and configuration, along with operational maturity, as well as security integration. The performance of support can definitely be improved with easier on-call support features for P1 and P2 incidents. Getting quick support from the vendor during major recoveries or disasters would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, improving the strength of ransomware protections, addressing critical gaps in deployments, enforcing backup immutability policies, and making disaster recovery testing routine instead of an ad hoc process are important. Validating that I can quickly recover data should be a priority, and improved runbooks or operational maturity platforms would be beneficial for data recovery from critical incidents.
