We performed a comparison between Rubrik and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Instant recovery is a good feature."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"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 most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"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."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
