Rubrik is better suited for larger enterprises, while Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a cost-effective choice for smaller businesses.
"It has a single pane of glass interface."
"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."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The solution is stable."
"The product offers good stability."
"The way it backs up personal files is great."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to restore a specific email. For example, if a user has deleted an email and they would like that particular email back we are able to restore it."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"The feature that I like the most is the system backup recovery from OneDrive."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"User interface could be improved."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"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."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"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."
"The solution needs to improve its speed."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"We use a yearly subscription. However, I believe the price could be lower."
"They can provide a dashboard for sizing. This feature might get included in the next release."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"You can't really edit. For example, if you have created a backup for a user, you can't drill down on a granular level during the backup. You have to back up the mailbox completely. That's it. It would be helpful if you could at least go inside the mailboxes to choose what you want."
"The solution could improve scalability, both in terms of more storage and users. These two attributes are quite important when you talk about good scalability."
