We performed a comparison between OpenText Data Protector and Rubrik 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."The stability of the product seems to be quite good."
"Data Protector's GUI is the most useful feature."
"The tool's most valuable aspect is its ease of management. It was not complex. In terms of features, I can mention a couple of things. For example, if you need to restore a VM, you can do it with multiple streams in OpenText Data Protector, which is an advantage over Commvault, from what I've noticed, having worked with multiple tools. Another thing is the Oracle backups; configuring Oracle backups is much easier in OpenText Data Protector."
"The most valuable features of this solution were the features we worked most with which were telemetry, and the scheduler."
"It's a good product that's pretty easy to use."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"The solution allows us to be able to backup and exchange directly, to backup Microsoft exchange."
"Ability to automatically detect and secure new data sources without requiring manual configuration intervention."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"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."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"We have so many specific technological cracks in Micro Focus, but we are not getting the features, facilities, or coordination between the global delivery centers and the R&D team that we need to express our ideas."
"The interface has been the same for many years and needs to be updated"
"I don't like this solution so much because it's very technical and compared to Commvault and Veeam, it's not so user-friendly. The interface needs improvement."
"VM backups needs to be improved. They need to make it similar to the way Veeam and Commvault are doing the virtual backups."
"The Micro Focus Data Protector support is not as good as Veeam Backup & Replication's support."
"We face challenges with its stability."
"It can occasionally be inaccurate in its backup/recovery time estimates."
"In terms of what can be improved, I would say integrations with MongoDB. We use MongoDB and we need to go to scripts to do backups. We need more integrations."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"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."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
