We performed a comparison between Hornetsecurity Altaro VM Backup and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 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."
"This solution is stable."
"All of the features are fantastic and also the management from Microsoft dealing with multiple machines is great. The whole package is excellent for me."
"We frequently use the granular restore option for when our users accidentally delete files or to recover emails from mailboxes. We have found that to be a must-have feature and it comes with the solution at no extra cost."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"We use the latest feature in Altaro called CDP (Continuous Data Protection) to back up our VMs as often as every five minutes. It allows us to make sure no data is accidentally deleted or overwritten."
"The product has many valuable features for handling backup needs, including replication, live migration, and incremental disaster recovery."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"The scalability of the solution is limited."
"If you look into the performance of a virtual machine and you look to the performance of the physical machine, the correlation between these is totally unclear."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"Replication is not fast, the GUI could be more user-friendly, and technical support is lacking in Iran."
"Migrating the physical through a backup and restore to a virtual environment would be very helpful."
"Stability."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
