It did not take long at all for my small installation of Hyper V, Exchange and SQL. Everything seemed to be going well at first. I will say, customer support was top notch for effort. They stayed on a remote session for hours trying to fix the issues. No audio, just chat. > > **Cons**: It didn't work. I could not back things up. Then I couldn't recover them. I had moved away from Comet due to the impending price increase. I needed backups. > > BDRSuite came recommended by many and they have an impressive list of their customers on the website. They have been around awhile. Finally, we are not really inventing anything new here, it's Backups. It just didn't work for us. They gave it a lot of effort, but I finally had to end the trial and try something else. ----- ### "Good product for SMB" — 5.0/5 > **Forrest** | *15 September 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support VMware backup, Windows server backup, it's versatile > > **Cons**: Scheduling additional full back is a bit harder to understand > > Overall experience is great, most of time it's running quietly, no issue on recovery ----- ### "It's good but needs more polishing" — 4.0/5 > **Daniel** | *29 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I can back up 10 VMs with the free trial and perform restores. As a small business owner, it's hard to find software that is affordable for small environments. Once the software is installed and running, it works fairly consistently. > > **Cons**: Their documentation needs improvement both from a base framework perspective and from a version-to-version perspective. Some of the documentation is only for the older version and references things that aren't present in the newer version. This out-of-date information is the only information available for the feature or topic. The errors could be more informative in some instances. having to google the error because searching their KB area doesn't show any results for the error is frustrating. I would prefer to not have to be the beta tester of the software and constantly report missing information in regards to error messages that aren't helpful or documentation that isn't for the new version. The overall site navigation needs help. The installation process for the agent on headless/core server OSes could use improvement. The uninstallation and reinstallation process should be smoother if you're attempting to do a repair because a version update broke something. When upgrading, sometimes the agent on the target server needs upgrading but doesn't auto upgrade and so you have to dig through older versions' documentation to find the command to uninstall and then reinstall. It should be in the upgrade notes that this upgrade may need XYZ done in case of a failed upgrade. Restores aren't as elegant as they could be. Restoring a Domain Controller causes issues that aren't documented as possibilities. The issues aren't related to the DC, but due to the way, the restore is done. > > Overall the software is great for being free. I'm wouldn't be confident or as likely to recommend it as a purchased product at the price point they are asking. Their whole product and documentation need improvement before I would have confidence in recommending it to other companies that would use it in their production environment. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/104286/vembu-bdr-suite?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/104286/vembu-bdr-suite) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
