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."It is an excellent product. It is easy to deploy, stable, and fast. Their support is excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The interface is user-friendly and even if our tech isn't onsite, we can work with the owners to confirm that the data will be restored with no issues."
"Valuable features for us include quick recovery, compression, and deduplication."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"The initial set up was complex, and I was not able to do the set up myself."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
