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."I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"One of the valuable features is the instant recovery for VMs. It reduces the RTO (Recovery Time Objective) drastically."
"The ease-of-use in general is great."
"This solution has a very good technical support department that is very responsive."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"It is one of the most stable backup solutions."
"The solution was stable and reliable."
"The solution is good for small and medium-sized businesses."
"The solution is very scalable. Whenever we grew, it was just a matter of adding new licenses, so it's easy to grow."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"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."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"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."
"The pricing is an area of improvement and the mode of marketing it."
"The scalability could be improved even though the solution is targeted to small customers."
"Veritas Backup Exec could improve the analytics. If there were some more detail in our scan reports it would be beneficial."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
