Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 24, 2025

BDRSuite Backup & Replication and Veeam Data Platform are contenders in the backup software market. Veeam Data Platform holds an advantage due to its advanced features and comprehensive support for diverse environments, beneficial for enterprises requiring robust backup solutions.

Features: BDRSuite focuses on ease of use, automatic backup replication, and MSP rebranding support. Users appreciate its UI simplicity and straightforward setup. Veeam Data Platform excels with reliable instant recovery, extensive replication capabilities, and integration with virtual and physical machine environments.

Room for Improvement: BDRSuite needs to improve time zone-related support issues, service reliability, and local hardware integration, along with enhanced documentation and API support. Veeam users report concerns about cost and complexity in licensing, seeking better reporting and improved physical and cloud support.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: BDRSuite operates in various cloud environments but struggles with customer service quality and technical support consistency. Veeam matches in deployment flexibility but provides a more dependable support experience, although response time improvements are desired by users of both products.

Pricing and ROI: BDRSuite offers cost-effective licensing, appealing to budget-conscious small businesses. It presents a strong ROI with perpetual and annual renewal options. Veeam's higher pricing could be prohibitive for smaller setups, yet it provides substantial ROI for enterprises requiring comprehensive data protection features.

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

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

"It made it easy for us to handle the daily backup of endpoints."

"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."

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

"The initial setup is easy and very nice."

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

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

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pros

"The feature that we have found most valuable is its traffic plan. The traffic plan is very good."

"The backup features are valuable."

"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."

"Veeam Backup Replication is easy to use and has high performance. The backups are very fast. It's a complete solution that fulfills our current needs."

"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup Replication is application awareness. Additionally, the solution is user-friendly and it has been working very well."

"I like that the solution is very simple to install."

"The solution's best features are its ease of use and replication."

"The tool is a stable backup solution."

More Veeam Data Platform pros

Cons

"The phone [support] system is a negative five on a scale from one to ten, where one is the worst. They wanted me to leave a message. When there is a problem with the product and you call in, you want to talk to somebody or wait to talk to somebody, not leave a message."

"It would be a great improvement if they can give a console to control the systems. All other vendors let you simply log in to the cloud console and control everything from there, but for Vembu, whether you choose Vembu Cloud Backup or Vembu Disaster Recovery, you still need to install the Vembu software on your on-premise system and configure it from there. It would be great if I can get a cloud console to manage the systems."

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

"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 API uses a common data image to store the data for the sets, but unfortunately, it's limited to consecutive sets only. That's the only limitation I have observed so far."

"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."

"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."

"I don't know if it exists, but it would be helpful to get email notifications when there are issues with the backup. I'm sure it probably exists, but I just don't know how to do it. They also have an Azure proxy feature where you can restore to Azure. It's not really well documented. I think they should document how to do that a little better."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication cons

"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 navigation of menus can be difficult to find what you're looking for sometimes."

"CDP also requires a lot of development, because there are a lot of restrictions now for CDP. There is a chance to improve CDP and make it much easier for the customers."

"If you upgrade too quickly, you may have issues."

"I only ever found one error. It was when we were doing a file copy job. After using it for ten minutes, it would slow down and cause a bottleneck error."

"The replicating from Veeam Backup Replication to Azure cloud could be improved."

"The threshold could be easier to configure."

"Some support replies for a broken backup task have been "rebuild the job from scratch" and this is a bad thing to do if you have many VMs and repositories."

More Veeam Data Platform cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"We chose this solution because it was cheaper and easier to use than Veeam and other solutions of this type."

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

"The license is per unit and is expensive."

"For someone who doesn't want the Application-Aware feature to work, everything else is up to par. The licensing is straightforward. They license it per CPU."

"Previously, we used Veeam Backup, but we replaced it with Vembu. We switched because Vembu is more cost-effective. So, price was a factor."

More BDRSuite Backup & Replication pricing and cost advice

"Veeam Backup Replication is inexpensive for small workloads."

"If you have Exchange, Oracle, SQL, or a supported SAN, then I suggest getting at least an Enterprise edition. It’ll pay for itself in no time."

"We pay yearly licensing fees for Veeam in our data centers where we're using disaster recovery and replication between our many solutions, especially cloud solutions. From the beginning, we've done our licensing from a separate channel through our data center team in Seattle."

"The price of Veeam Backup Replication is reasonable."

"The solution's pricing is cheap."

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The licensing is the worst part of Veeam Backup Replication because for the more complex situations and it's quite difficult and complex. In particular, when mixing different requirements the licensing model is complex. For example, mixing a virtual machine backup and a file server backup in the same installation can be somewhat difficult and is expensive."

"The price is a bit high."
