Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
BDRShield is scalable across environments, supporting large data volumes and future growth, with potential hardware upgrades for optimal performance.
Sentiment score
7.3

BDRShield is generally stable with minor Linux issues; praised for reliable notifications and excellent Vembu support.

Room For Improvement

BDRShield faces criticism for its complex UI, lacking features, support issues, and limited integration and stability options.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
There could always be little things that could still be fixed or improved for stability.
Director at Switact
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.

Setup Cost

BDRShield provides cost-effective, flexible pricing options with some licensing complexity, praised for affordability and user-friendly experience.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.

Valuable Features

BDRShield excels in automatic backups, seamless integration, and storage efficiency, ensuring quick recovery and effective multi-tenant management.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The features I find most valuable are ease of backup, ease of restore, the full restore, just getting some data out of a backup server or even the applications that are in the server, going through the database or going to Exchange.
Director at Switact
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

Featured Reviews

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.

Cloud data management that achieves cost efficiency with advanced data protection features
I am currently using Nasuni for seismic data. We have a huge data size, and we want to reduce costs. Nasuni acts as a caching solution, so we put some data into the cache, and the rest goes to the blob, which helps us save on costs. We use it for applications like Petrol and Tech Log, where 3D…
