Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2025

BDRShield and Veeam Cloud Connect are competitive in the cloud backup solutions category. Veeam Cloud Connect appears to have the upper hand due to its comprehensive suite and integration with cloud services.

Features: BDRShield offers automatic backup replication, user-friendly features, and MSP rebranding capabilities. It effectively handles multiple virtual machines and hypervisors with compression efficiency. Veeam Cloud Connect is known for its reliability and flexibility, providing robust support for email backup, hybrid setups, and seamless cloud integration.

Room for Improvement: BDRShield struggles with customer service, technical support delays, and occasional bugs. Veeam Cloud Connect could improve through enhanced deduplication, better scalability, and integration with more cloud providers. Its high costs might exclude budget-limited organizations.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRShield excels in on-premises and hybrid deployments but requires improvement in support quality. Veeam Cloud Connect is favored for its smooth deployment across various cloud setups, and while technical support is knowledgeable, delays may occur during emergencies.

Pricing and ROI: BDRShield is cost-effective with a flexible licensing model suited for small to medium businesses. In contrast, Veeam's premium pricing reflects its extensive features and robust capabilities, though its ROI depends on businesses' needs for its advanced tools.

Can automatically pull the virtual machines that we have in an environment

I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud. BDRSuite enables you to recover data instantly. When we need to recover data, I only need to start a backup job or a restore job. Depending on the speed of the server and the Internet, it should be able to download the files from the cloud and split them back up the way they were like nothing ever happened. The restore options BDRSuite provides are crucial because we use it for a lot of healthcare companies that have HIPAA requirements. BDRSuite is HIPAA compliant. We need it to be readily available and accessible in case something goes wrong. It lets you schedule backups to run every 15 minutes. I don't believe you can do it at shorter intervals because there's no way the original backups will finish in 15 minutes. It allows you to adjust the schedules. For example, if you don't want it to go during certain times, you can set that up. You can also choose between a full or incremental backup. There are settings you can adjust to make it work how you want it. Incremental backup is crucial because a full backup would increase fees or affect the local server because it would back up the entire volume every time. Instead, it does one full backup—say 12 terabytes— and adds to it in increments of 100 gigabytes, 200 gigabytes, etc. Whenever you want to add a backup job, there's a wizard that pops up telling you how to make a new backup job. It asks you what you want to name it and what you want to back up. Then, it asks you if you want to schedule it. There's an interactive display on how to do that.

User-friendly interface, and reasonably priced but the support needs improvement

While the solution is generally satisfactory, we encountered difficulties when attempting to seek assistance for issues we faced. Getting the necessary help proved to be quite challenging. The after-sales service is not ideal for French-speaking customers like us in Quebec. Unfortunately, there is no local support available for us. We are now able to work on more security-related tasks with Acronis, as they offer features such as antivirus, DLP, and various cybersecurity options. This is a significant improvement compared to our previous solution with Veeam Cloud Connect, where we were lacking such features. It also allows us to offer a wider range of security options to our customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I get my backups done."

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

"It's something that sits there and does its job, and does it well."

"The Linux based deployments were fairly easy to manage, however the constant updates were annoying."

"I can choose a point in time and issue the command to back up and I don't need to go in and restore the last full backup and then apply iteratively, sequentially, all the incrementals... I can pick a point in time and tell it I want to go to that state and it's transparent to me. It happens in the background for me."

"Valuable features include Snapshots and the constant backup for SQL, application services, and Active Directory."

"I like the fact that BDRSuite can connect to VMware ESXi and automatically pull the virtual machines that I have in that environment. I also like that you can choose to back up the compute to the backup server or go straight to the cloud."

"The automated backup of multiple virtual machines. We can back up two hypervisors, one is Microsoft Hyper-V and the other one is VMware Hypervisor."

More BDRShield pros

"The interesting part of the solution is that the customer does not have to invest in a second site to store their offsite backups."

"The best part about this solution is that it just works."

"Replication without network changes."

"Veeam Backup and Replication is still one of the most cost-effective backup solutions on the market and offers very good value for money."

"The solution is extremely stable; we haven't come across any bugs, crashes, or glitches."

"Generally speaking about Veeam, as a vendor, from a technical support perspective, I've really enjoyed the fact that they have a really high response rate."

"The most valuable features of Veeam Cloud Connect are its ease of use and the portal is very useful."

"I am happy with their support, they are fast, and their response is very good."

More Veeam Cloud Connect [EOL] pros

Cons

"What I would love to see on the dashboard are graphs, per backup job."

"For the more sophisticated backups that do not have a set backup process, procedures that are outside of the norm, it would be nice if we had more control and did not have to use their technical support. While they're very responsive and have always come through in a reasonable time frame, we would like to be able to manage everything on our own."

"It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems."

"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."

"Our initial experience with BDRSuite highlighted the need for improved user onboarding materials."

"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."

"We do a lot of internal automation, so the Vembu API definitely has some gaps."

"The Support for Exchange 2016 mailboxes, a daily report for all customers on their last backup (Current report misses some information)"

More BDRShield cons

"The biggest thing that Cloud Connect needs is native deduplication."

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is. For instance, in the enterprise version, we can only use one accelerator with the cloud provider. It means if I have my Cloud Connect, I cannot connect another site of mine with another cloud connect and use an accelerator of Veeam. They should change this."

"We encountered some issues with stability at the beginning."

"The bandwidth optimization needs to be improved and have better efficiency so that you send fewer amounts of data from one site to the other."

"It would be helpful if the enterprise edition was more complete. It's not as complete as the enterprise plus edition is."

"Basically, a huge amount of storage capacity can be required in certain cases."

"The pricing is much higher than what our clients expect it to be."

"If a customer has a low budget, Veeam may be too expensive."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price point of this software is good, and I can do everything I need. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, we're on a small business enterprise package, which is half the price of the regular enterprise package. It's super affordable. The features you get for it are enterprise-level. I'm very happy with the pricing."

"It's very affordable. We are very satisfied with the cost. It's very affordable for us."

"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."

"The licensing model is quite complicated; it's not simple. An example: If you have a physical server, you have to pay more for that license than you do for a host. It could be running several VMs and that could be a server VM as well. Then, for web station machines, there is no license for those machines and they have no desktop OS - the free version has all this functionality. Their license model needs to be looked at and simplified."

"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 of Vembu is one of its strong points. The license is not as much as other competitors, and it has a variety of licensing options: subscription-based, perpetual licenses, and a virtual machine license. You can design whatever license that you adopted to your environment, and that can support your environment without extra cost, providing more than you need. So, you can design a license that fits your environment and budget. The pricing is very good and can be used when the budget is tight."

"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."

"It is very cost efficient, effective. I’d say it's one-third the cost of Veritas when compared to the server backups. I even tried image backups on Acronis, but Acronis is very expensive. So these are some of the key reasons why I opted for it."

More BDRShield pricing and cost advice

"It's not the cheapest solution on the market but it's reliable, so we find it cost-effective."

"The price of the solution is reasonable because of our good standing with the vendor."

"The price of the solution could be cheaper. There are monthly or yearly subscription options available. The annual subscription tends to be cheaper."

"The pricing of Veeam Cloud Connect is good."

"The licensing is MSP-based. It is connected to the portal, and you can deploy it to your end users as well."

"I think that this is one of the most cost-effective solutions."

"We are looking into how we can extend the license of this product."

"The licensing fee is on a monthly basis."
