Customer Stories
Trusted by Businesses, MSPs & Partners Worldwide
“I don’t think any platform can beat BDRSuite’s pricing. The cost is much lower than paying thousands per month for Datto, Kaseya, or Veeam”
“I tried Veeam and Microsoft’s built-in BU. It was OK, but price, performance, and features caused BDRSuite to win out!”
“It’s very cheap and it’s absolutely competitive. It’s very cheap compared to what I can charge my customers for the service.”
