1.5/5
What do you like best about BDRShield?

Not much. It will fail for unknown reasons, and you have a choice of allowing a Vembu tech to work on and off for days resolving the issue. My client is retiring shortly and I won't have to worry about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Support"
5/5
What do you like best about BDRShield?

I'm still new with this product. I'm using VembuBDR on Ubuntu Linux (because Linux is free and I know Linux and Windows costs $$). So far, it does everything I need.

Have had to use support twice. In both times, the issue was resolved on the first try. That rates 5* Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BDRShield?

Learning curve is a little steep. Support is oriented toward VembuBDR on Windows. Some Windows -> Linux translation is required when reading KB articles. It would be nice if KB articles had both a Windows version and a Linux version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Did the job"
2/5
What do you like best about BDRShield?

It was a good product when I used it to back up a server. We eventually moved to veeam as we deployed more virtualization. Vembu had good compression and notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BDRShield?

It was a bit tedious to install when I first deployed it a while back. I had a problem with applying licenses too but support eventually resolved it.

Back in Exchange days there was good granularity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Vembu BDR at Silafrica Plastic Packaging."
5/5
What do you like best about BDRShield?

It happens to be one of the best BDR systems we have ever used.

We are running in three different countries, Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia, and the results are excellent.

The speed, accuracy, and data integrity check feature are fantastic.

Easy to deploy, good customer and tech support response without forgetting reasonable prices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about BDRShield?

They take time to release major version upgrades, instead you get fresh installations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
