BDRShield – Drivers of Preference

Each organization that prefers BDRShield over other solutions will have its distinct reason. However, as PeerSpot reviews reveal, several drivers of preference are evident which are listed below:

  1. Comprehensive Backup Capabilities
  2. Flexible Licensing
  3. Ease of Use
  4. Cost-Effective

In some cases, the customer wants a product that is up to date.

This was the need compelling a Network Manager at a small tech services company to opt for BDRShield. Their previous solution “worked fine for a while,” as he said, adding, “but the updates weren’t happening on a regular basis and the product wasn’t moving forward the way that we wanted it to. Vembu has a lot more time under its belt in terms of development and whatnot. It turned out to be a much better solution for us.”

1. Comprehensive Backup Capabilities

BDRShield provides a comprehensive backup solution that covers all possible data sources. BDRShield supports backup and recovery for virtual, physical, or cloud servers, endpoints, applications, or SaaS applications.

As an IT Director at a marketing services firm explained, once Mozy was acquired by Carbonite, the solution could no longer handle SQL cloud backups and meet small business needs. He said, “Vembu Cloud BDR has been filling this void for my small clients for a few years now. I have clients that have used many solutions. For those who switched to Vembu Cloud BDR, most are coming from Carbonite (originally Mozy) or Backup Exec (with local storage).”

BDRShield offers centralized management that provides businesses with complete access and control of their entire backup infrastructure, enabling them to manage from a single web console.

2. Flexible Licensing

BDRShield’s licensing flexibility is second to none and enables businesses to choose a licensing model that best fits their backup requirements and budget.

With BDRShield, you can choose a Subscription (or) Perpetual licensing model, as well as the option to purchase licenses based on Per VM, Per CPU-Socket, Per User, Per Endpoint, Per Server, and Per Instance basis. This level of licensing customization enables businesses of all sizes to select the licensing model that best suits their backup requirements and budget.

Vembu pricing is also a strong point for Muhammad F., who praised the solution’s licensing options, e.g., subscription-based, perpetual licenses, and a virtual machine license. He said, “You can design whatever license that you adopt to your environment, and that can support your environment without extra cost, providing more than you need. So, you can design a license that fits your environment and budget. The pricing is very good and can be used when the budget is tight.”

BDRShield’s licensing flexibility ensures that you don’t end up paying for features or capabilities that you don’t need. This approach helps you optimize your backup costs and ensures that your investment in backup software is tailored to your exact business needs.

According to Isaac K., a Network Engineer at CPM Roskamp, a manufacturing company, “We previously used Veeam, and we made the switch due to the change in their licensing. They don’t do perpetual licensing anymore. They’re going to a subscription-based model, which doesn’t fit with our business model.”

3. Ease of Use

Usability matters for backup solutions. IT managers responsible for managing backups have to deal with many complex challenges in their work, so ease of use can be a significant differentiator.

BDRShield is known for its ease of use and intuitive interface. It simplifies backup management and reduces the need for technical expertise. With BDRShield, administrators can effortlessly manage their backup operations and ensure their data is secure and protected.

As Rakesh K., a Project Manager at TMI DUBAI, a consultancy, put it, “I have used many solutions, such as Acronis, Veeam, Symantec, Veritas, etc., and all of them are a bit complicated. I found Vembu to be the simplest one. In terms of features, it is similar to others. It has encryption and retention features and multiple backup options that every backup software provides.”

4. Cost-Effective

Cost is not everything, but it can definitely be a factor affecting buying decisions in many cases. BDRShield has proven to be a cost-effective backup solution for businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a small business owner or a large enterprise, BDRShield offers exceptional backup performance at an affordable price point. This aspect of BDRShield has been appreciated by businesses that prefer it over other solutions.

For Rakesh K., BDRShield’s lower price set it apart from other solutions. He shared, “Currently, we are also using Acronis, and slowly, we will be migrating from Acronis to Vembu. It is cheaper in price than Acronis.” He added, “Price-wise, it is much cheaper than its counterparts. It is very affordable.” Rakesh K. then offered an example, sharing, “We were working with a client, and they were looking for backup software and had a very tight budget. When I told them that Vembu is only going to cost around $400 to $500, they were shocked. They didn’t believe me, so I showed them the website so that they can check the price themselves.”

In fact, it has been observed that BDRShield can save up to 70% of the cost when compared to other backup software solutions available in the market. This outstanding cost-effectiveness has made BDRShield the top choice for many businesses that are looking to reduce their backup expenses without compromising features or performance.

A Project Manager at a manufacturing company was similarly pleased with the licensing and price, which he described as “reasonable compared to other solutions.” He remarked, “There are no additional costs.”

BDRShield has emerged as a leading player in this space, with several key differentiators that set it apart from the competition.

The main use case is disaster recovery for relevant data to be able to survive after any disaster.” He has two on-premises deployments. One is a Hyper-V deployment with backup for Hyper-V virtual machines. The other is for backing up the virtual infrastructure version.

He added, “As data is increasing day by day, taking and managing backup is a hard job. As IT personnel, we were looking for a solution where we could do auto backups for all our machines and restore them at any point in time as required. Vembu came to us and solved our problems in the backup space.”
