Affordable Replication

  • March 05, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have been migrating clients from VEEAM to Vembu at a steady rate. Vembu has a consistent and affordable price point versus the ridiculous scaling costs of other solutions on the market. Also a huge bonus is they offer a solution that is a VM appliance that is easy to install and implement.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface and licensing can be a bit clunky to work through at times. as a web interface the cache on the browser can occasionally cause conflict with license change or backup changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The primary use for us is failover replication backups to secondary servers. The differential replication is a huge help for large servers after the initial backup completes.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Key value for Vembu is price point. Backup and replication is pretty straightforward for all applications; so the key is value for dollars, not bells and whistles that you will never use.

Great for Disaster recovery or quickly accessing older file versions

  • February 19, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to navigate interface. Setting up VM backups for disaster recovery is straightforward and works great. I receive image integrity reports showing the boot status of the backed up VMs and I can perform a manual test recovery in a few minutes. Just works for both my Hyper-V and VMware VMs and physical servers. Licensing options are reasonably priced - especially the small business less than 6 CPU licenses- allow annual subscriptions or one time purchases.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only negative I have about the software is that the upgrade process can be a bit tedious and some random issues usually come up after a version upgrade.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Needed a comprehensive backup solution for multiple VMs for both Hyper-V and VMware. Recovery a single file or folder --or recovering an entire VM; process is easy and straightforward. Image integrity checks have always been accurate to let me know I can count on our backups. Can be emailed if a backup fails- integrates with 3rd party monitoring software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Support is excellent-- At all hours I have submitted simple to complicated questions and I receive responses almost immediately and support assists until issue is resolved.

some learning to do to implement but easy

Getting good low level backups. Continuous backups. Easy file recovery. VM restoration. A lot of different types of recovery modes. Dededuplication is great because it speeds up the backup process greatly after a reboot of the server and or desktop.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It works. It's cheap, you can use your own hardware to make the backup servers.

Excellent software and support

  • November 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have been using Vembu for years and the BDR suite is an example of the excellent software we have come to expect from Vembu. It has the features we are looking for, but most important of all, it is stable. We tried multiple vendors through the years until we finally came across his company. We stayed with them because when we need to do a restore and when we do our routine check, the backups of run in the data is there.
What do you dislike about the product?
Had a couple of problems with the upgrade to the BDR suite because previous version did not uninstall properly. Fortunately, support was great and the problem was resolved quickly. Of course, the problems were possibly, maybe even probably, caused by the Microsoft OS being flaky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backup and disaster recovery four standard and VM PCs and servers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's excellent software that is comprehensive enough to meet the needs of various types of clients and most every scenario. Plus is stable and the company continually makes upgrades to fit the changing circumstances of our business. The price is certainly fair. So after years of using it with multiple clients, I can strongly recommend it. I've been in this business for 25 years so I know a good thing when I see it.

Replication is accessible from the menu and a procedure to set up is as simple as and has some great features.

Best Backup software out there for SME's

  • October 25, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Incremental VM Backups, Customer Support and Scheduled Backups as well as Replication options, the email notifications for each backup and the ability to easily add and remove backup jobs with great options.
The ability to also restore with advanced options like restoring as thick or thin provision disk for vmware is very handy.
There is also file level restoration which is very handy in my opinion.
What do you dislike about the product?
The application opens in a Browser window instead of as an application. This can sometimes conflict with Server group policies on internet browsers and/or webpages.
The licensing model i think is a bit inconveniencing but atleast you can run 1 full backup of a host before you cannot back it up anymore.
There is no handy tool for clearing space on the backup target drive easily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up of Important VM's and also there is less space consumed with the backups thanks to the incremental backup solution.
This also has numerous restore points depending on how you have set up the backups to run,

Previously we could not automate backups within the software, we had to run a script in windows and schedule the script. now we do not need to worry about that anymore.
The email notifications are a huge help and takes a lot of manual work out of the process.
It just works and does everything you need it to.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Pricing is better than veeam and the solution offers just as much, if not more.
It is feature rich, cost effect solution with even more features than I myself have managed to explore.
There is a perpetual licensing option if you ask for it, instead of paying annually.
