Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is very stable, and I'm very happy with this solution."
"The product is easy to install and use while doing what it is expected to do."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"We perform backup drills to test the functionality, and we don't have any problems."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"It is very reliable, so we don't have any issues with it. Our customers have never raised any issue with it. Basically, once you set it up and it is running, it is trouble-free. Our customers are happy. They just got a renewal for the subscription for the service."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"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."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"We cannot backup Sun Micro systems. They are not currently supported."
"The restore time can be improved. The restore time for large quantities of folders is slow. Sometimes, if I'm doing a full recovery of a server, it takes multiple hours, which probably is natural. It might also be because of our internet speed to the cloud."
"Barracuda Backup could use some more integration."
"The solution depends on your connectivity, so it is essential to have a proper connection to the cloud."
"The web interface needs to contain a more up-to-date view of the hardware."
"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."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
