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 most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"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."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"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."
"User interface could be improved."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"It would be great to have the job throttle/limit the max number of backups on a single ESXi host."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"If the interface could be less complex, it is would be great."
"Support is great for small simple issues, but anything more difficult, it is hard to get good resolutions without having to badger them and their management."
