Executive SummaryUpdated on Jun 29, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform compete in the data backup and recovery category. Veeam Data Platform takes the upper hand due to its comprehensive solutions tailored for high-security enterprise environments.

Features: BDRSuite is recognized for user-friendly features, automatic backup replication, and effective compression which aids in reducing manual tasks through its intuitive GUI. It also supports MSP rebranding. Veeam Data Platform includes instant VM recovery, SureBackup, and enhanced encryption, making it ideal for enterprises needing robust security and rapid restoration in virtual environments.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite users find the support lacking during critical times and highlight the need for more comprehensive documentation. They desire a more effective support system. Veeam faces challenges with its complex licensing models and higher costs, which may not suit smaller businesses, and calls for better integration with non-Microsoft environments.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite is appreciated for its straightforward setup, and flexibility across on-premises and cloud deployments, catering well to small and medium businesses but needs to improve technical support responsiveness. Veeam boasts efficient deployment with strong hybrid and cloud integrations but shares similar support issues, with delays during non-business hours despite having knowledgeable staff.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite is considered affordable for SMBs, offering strong features at a low cost and achieving favorable ROI with low upfront and ongoing costs. Veeam offers flexible pricing with perpetual and subscription licenses; its ROI is justified by an extensive feature set that benefits larger organizations, especially those requiring robust data protection and quick recovery.

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

Pros

"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."

"Their support is great. I think they work 24 hours a day. I get a very quick turnaround time from them no matter the day or time that I send them an email."

"The most valuable feature is its ability to copy quickly. We have about 12 terabytes, and trying to copy that volume size through the file structure would take a week. BDRSuite has a different approach to copying and is much faster."

"It suits our needs, is versatile, and the functionality is there."

"We use it to maintain critical data and save it."

"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."

"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."

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

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"One of the standout features of Veeam Backup & Replication is its exceptional restore capability, enabling users to recover their data seamlessly. Another valuable functionality is the automated verification of backup restorations, made possible through the Sure Backup feature. The software boasts numerous other noteworthy features that offer immense value, including the NAS backup feature."

"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use, good integration with others solutions, such as Oracle ERP, and by using the UI you can create and achieve operations you want to do."

"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."

"The features I find most valuable are probably the VMware snapshot backups and the Veeam replication. Their replication is very good. It can easily be used for disaster recovery in a number of situations."

"Its simplicity and the fact that it just works are most valuable. We kind of set it up and generally forget about it. It does what we need it to do in the background, and it doesn't involve a lot of management."

"Provides lots of reporting and visualization of how much data has been transferred."

"The product's initial setup phase was straightforward for me."

"One of the best things about Veeam is that they have consistently improved on themselves since they started. Personally, I've been using Veeam since around 2013/2014 when it was only supporting certain hypervisors such as HyperV, and since then it has become truly mature enterprise-level software with a lot of versatility."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"I saw that it's not possible to have the last full backup duplicated on our site. Therefore, if I have a lot of information on the main site, I would not want to copy any information to those site servers. It would be nice to be able to make a copy of the last full backup."

"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."

"There's a feature that does syncing with AWS Cloud backup online. It's not that straightforward to get it set up."

"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."

"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."

"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."

"BDRSuite could improve support for XenApp Citrix Backup."

"The initial setup process can be more simplistic and quicker."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"The pricing could be improved."

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

"Could be improved with hybrid cloud integration backup."

"Its native capability for talking to the public cloud needs improvement. Connecting to a public cloud is a little bit more of a challenge when it comes to Veeam than it is with Rubrik or Commvault. There are still some hoops that you got to jump through in order to send Veeam backups out to public cloud repositories. It is not as simple as it is with other products."

"The solution is not very good at backing up the physical Linux systems."

"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."

"OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future."

"The only improvement I could think of is it could be cheaper—cheaper is always good. Sometimes the product is just finished. Cheaper is always nice for the customer, but the company needs to benefit so that they can keep maintaining the product. New Windows versions, etc., always take some work. At the moment, I wouldn't switch to another solution because of the money."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"The pricing is good. The tough part is estimating storage needs."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"BDRSuite is competitively priced."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"When I did a tech refresh, we took out a subscription for the coming five years."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."

"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."

"They could work at providing a better price."

"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."

"I would rate the pricing six out of ten when compared to other competitors."
