We performed a comparison between Barracuda Intronis Backup and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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'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."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"I have found the product's LiveBoot feature to be most valuable."
"The main feature we like about Barracuda is that we can map devices directly to the cloud. It operates as a security device to run a backup of the cloud in case one of our physical machines goes down."
"Whenever you have a crash or your service is not working, you can just live-boot the machine and have your service up and running."
"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 feature is unlimited data storage on the cloud. Even if the employee has left the company for a few years, the backup will still be maintained."
"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."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"It is easy to deploy."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"This solution could be improved with offering lower prices at scale."
"The solution is pretty expensive. This is the usual customer complaint."
"Its speed can be a bit improved, and of course, its pricing can go a lot cheaper."
"I would like to see the Live Boot feature extended to Hyper-V machines, in addition to VMware machines."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
