We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"Reporting is one of the key elements that are valuable for C-suite executives. In terms of monitoring, the solution provides comprehensive details into ongoing processes, flagging issues and warnings as necessary."
"The most valuable features of AWS Backup are point-in-time recovery and support resources."
"RDS backup is one of the most crucial components of any client's cloud environment, so we generally use that. Additionally, we store EBS snapshots in S3."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"It has a single pane of glass interface."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"To create a plan and for all the configuration, one has to do multiple steps, which could be organized in a much simpler way, making the user experience better."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
