We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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."This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"I like the tool's speed."
"It is very stable."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"Arcserve has a feature called virtual standby (VSB), which has been very helpful because I already have a hot standby copy of my critical infrastructure. If something breaks, I can spin up that virtual standby copy in less than five minutes and ensure that my data is available to everyone and that business continuity is maintained."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"It is a very stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The ROI is very good because of the speed of the backup."
"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."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"It takes much time to verify and consolidate images for backups."
"The solution can improve by allowing older versions to support the latest version of the OS."
"The solution can use a lot of bandwidth when the scheduling is not done, it should auto-schedule itself. For example, if there are 50 users connected in the network at 12 o'clock and the backup is not scheduled. At this time the network offices are going to have performance issues when it is doing a backup. Having a feature to auto-schedule a time when the network is not being used often would be beneficial."
"Arcserve UDP is in the middle range of complexity. The interface can be developed a little bit more to be user-friendly."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"I think that the price could still be a bit cheaper and I do not like that they have been purchased by Arcserve."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
