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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It was very difficult to find a product that supports Red Hat Virtualization natively and to take a snapshot of the VM or a full backup or a dump from the machine. The option that Vembu proposed, to take the machine as an image, take it from the system, is also good."

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

"It has improved our business continuity."

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

"You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."

"It's easy to restore."

"The main benefit is that it's inexpensive. We get a lot for a little bit of money. I'm very happy with the savings and with the features. It allows me to do everything I need."

"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The most valuable feature is the continuous backup."

"Good compression when storing data."

"First, I like that this solution is fast. Second, I like the stability and flexibility."

"It most valuable features are seeding and faster backups over small links."

"Very reliable and easy to use."

"The solution's instant recovery feature is good and allows you to capture and copy individual files."

"It is a powerful software for communicating with the storage and for redundancy."

"WAN Accelerator helps tremendously with replicating our data because we have a large chunk of data that gets replicated between our two facilities."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"It's not that stable yet. Every two weeks, my backup will stop and I have to check it."

"They said they can support Red Hat Virtualization and we assumed that they support any compatible system but we found we need to do a network backup or a network image, which is not what it said on their website. I have had many discussions with them about where this component is. Initially, I was searching for a component which would back up Red Hat Virtualization. They said they support this in the same way they support Hyper-V and VMware. I haven't found the feature in their portal or in any of their software. They haven't made a special agent for it, in the way they did for Hyper-V."

"We do a lot of internal automation, so the Vembu API definitely has some gaps. The Vembu API could definitely use some improvement. We do rely a lot on automation outside of just the regular interface. We've noticed that the Vembu GUI is good, but we do leverage the APIs for a lot of stuff, and there's definitely some room for improvement there."

"There are some limitation in Vembu that can be improved. When you take the backup from any server, the full incremental backup is limited. For example, if you run a weekly full backup and monthly backup, they cannot be run at the same time. I should not have to create a new job, but in this scenario, I am creating two jobs. The limitation is created because if I select monthly backup, then I cannot select weekly backup."

"I have had issues where it was working and then it stopped and I had to diagnose what had changed or gone wrong to get it back up."

"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."

"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."

"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."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

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

"The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations."

"If they could add more support for all of the modern hypervisors, that would make Veeam much better and more flexible to work with. For example, there is no solution for VM to VM replication when it comes to Oracle OEM servers."

"There are certain solutions, such as Rubrik and Cohesity, that are little by little, taking market share. Veeam needs to be more aggressive to keep their dominance in the space."

"I would like to see more broad support for other applications such as databases, or other operating systems."

"The patching can be quite difficult at times."

"The one downside to Veeam is that they don't have a cloud product of their own."

"The integration with other solutions should be improved."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is per unit and is expensive."

"Its price is fair, and they still allow perpetual licensing, which is extremely important for us. They also have offline licensing. I am not aware of any costs in addition to the standard licensing fees. In terms of the affordability of the solution for businesses with a tight budget, you aren't going to beat it."

"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."

"I think it is a good value for the price."

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

"BDRSuite, although cost-efficient, is more expensive than most other providers."

"The pricing is fair."

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

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Compared to other enterprise solutions, Veeam Backup & Replication generally offers a competitive price point. However, there has been a noticeable and concerning increase in pricing, particularly in the year 2023. The rate of price hikes has been significant, with prices escalating three times during the first quarter of the year. This trend indicates a substantial shift in the pricing structure, which may have implications for customers and their budgeting considerations."

"The price of this product is very good."

"It's expensive and costs about 4000 a year."

"Veeam has a ten-license package gives you two physical and two virtual servers you can use on any endpoint."

"Veeam ONE is cheaper when you compare it with one of its competitors in the ops space, VMware vRealize Operations. There's a separate department that deals with the licensing, but my company is using CSP licensing, which is the service provider licensing, so my company doesn't fall under the normal volume at the Veeam Universal licensing program. The cost is commit-based and depends on what your point commit is. The point commit works differently, and it's similar to your sales provider license. If you commit to using one thousand five hundred points, you get a certain price. If you commit to using the eight hundred points scheme, you get a certain price. As you grow the point scheme, you get a different price range, so it doesn't matter whether you're using Veeam One, Veeam Availability Suite, Veeam Backup and Replication, Orchestrate, or whatever the product is."

"A nice aspect of Veeam's pricing is that the cost benefit is good. It's very economical."

"The pricing and licensing is better than the competitors, but it could be better."

"It is an affordable solution."
