We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veritas Backup Exec 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."It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"It is easy to deploy."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The beauty of the solution is that you can rely on it. It offers a quick recovery time when it's backing up items. The way it recovers data is excellent."
"The product allows for versatile storage options, enabling users to store data on disk storage, NAS storage, or tape libraries."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendly interface."
"Compression is the most valuable feature."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The solution is very fast. It does not take a long time to backup everything."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"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 would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"They could include backup functionality for enterprise environments."
"The solution could improve and adapt to new applications in the market so we can integrate Veritas Backup Exec with them to facilitate backup processes within these applications."
"The price of this solution is very high."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"It's not too stable for client-server architecture. Center Management is not so interactive, and then there are some issues regarding the complex licensing which needs improvement."
"The EDR should be looked at, as the operating system is too weak."
"Veritas Backup Exec should improve by having a user portal that customers can use."
"Whenever a job fails, it would be a great improvement to be able to resume the job from that feature. Suppose a job was started this morning and that it is going on while there are interruptions like network issues, server restart issues, server connectivity issues, services stopping, etc. For some reason, let's assume that the job failed or that it was mistakenly canceled by another person. It will be a great improvement if that failed job can be continued."
