"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."

"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"Only the price could be improved."

"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."

"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
