Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."
"It has an application backup, a file backup, a system backup and a hypervisor."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"The most valuable feature is that DPM has an index so individual files can be searched."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"The problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"It needs portability for other vendors. It is good for backing up Microsoft servers, but it doesn't support third-party solutions such as Oracle Database. It depends on Microsoft Volume Shadow Copy, especially for Hyper-V, which has a lot of problems. They should enhance the Volume Shadow Copy functionality. Its reporting should also be better. Reporting is too weak in DPM."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"The user friendliness could be improved."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"It is an expensive product."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
