There is no duplication of data. Vembu has crafted one of the best-looking interfaces. And I don’t mean all flashy look. It’s well thought out, very simple to use. A color combination is easy on the eyes. All the information is visible and is not hidden under a submenu of the submenu like with some products. We can enable Application Aware Settings.

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.

Vembu free version is perfect for small businesses

  • October 24, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the free version as it offers perpetual license to backup 3 VM's with full features. This is great for small businesses that has 1 or 2 esxi hosts and is new to virtualization. It allows the small business to take advantage of the software without spending that much and because of that they can plan ahead and include Vembu product licensing in the future once the need to backup more servers arises. Vembu also has an appliance version and is also perfect for small business. Licensing another OS just for backup is not a really cost effective for small businesses and this feature is perfect.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once a vembu server is synced to an online account and for some reason the admin needs to sync the server to another online account, the admin has only 2 options. Either he uninstalls and reinstall the product to change the server id and sync to an online account or have a tech support change it manually on the database for them. Option 2 is not documented so most of the time, admins will just uninstall and reinstall and sometimes that is disruptive. Recovery of the vembu server is complicated and would require an admin in depth knowledge of how to recover the server.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Small business backup strategy while using on premise NAS with optional replication to another offsite storage or to the cloud. The backup is very efficient and simple to use. Adding a NAS to the vembu server is a straightforward process. My client receives a report that a successful backup has been completed and this is very helpful compared to their previous backup solution that has no management and notification alerts.

Great support and product

  • October 24, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Implementing this solutions is very easy, installing the server and configuring the clients. Support is always exceptional, the Vembu engineers are always hands-on and very talented. The price is very good, including free backups for or client OS.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are a few missing bits on the server compared to their previous product (Storegrid), like you cannot edit any client configuration from the server side. The reporting is not perfect as you can get a missed backup email and a successful email seconds apart for the exact same job, probably a bug. The portal can be improved as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backing up tens of small company users or mobile users (laptop users), protecting the local data. It helped us rebuild machines that suffered hard failures without loosing any data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great individuals that are doing a great job.

Vembu BDR - A Good Starting Point for Disaster Recovery

  • September 25, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Vembu is easy to configure and has a robust disaster recovery topology if utilized with OffsiteDR. Their support and service is fantastic too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Backup restore times are longer than you would expect, which could be a limiting factor if restoring a large backup quickly is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data backup and disaster recovery. We have managed to restore accidentally deleted files as well as recover from server loss.

A great soulton

  • September 18, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The clean and friendly web based interface. It's also very dynamic for us. I can back up and restore on the file level and also restore and entire VM in a matter of minutes if I had to. The price was also attractive compared to something like Veeam.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really so far. If I had to choose one thing it would be tech support hours. I had a few issues with a couple of my servers not backing up initially and the engineers work off of an India time zone where I am in Mountain Time. It worked out, it was just a little inconvenient at the time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A full backup solution for our company that is dynamic and just works. I love the fact that I can fire up a VM from a backup and have it running on the BDR server itself if I have no other VM host to run it. Very versatile.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would definitely take a look at Vembu as opposed to something like Veeam. It's a great alternative that has me sold.

The Best Backup/DR tool

  • September 11, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We can have unlimited VMs backup using this tool. The replication feature allows you to replicate between remote sites seamlessly. The licensing model works for Bare metal servers & Virtual Hypervisors as well.All this with a very minimum cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
License binding to the physical host. We need to change the license (re-assign) to the new host which is not an easy task.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solved my backup solution for heterogeneous environment. We use it for virtual platform, bare metal platform, Physical hosts.
The technical support is excellent.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need a easy plug and play kind of setup with not much complexities involved, then go for it.
