We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Unitrends 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 most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"The predictive analytics are great and the reporting is awesome."
"The most valuable feature of Unitrends for me is the automated feedback"
"When I have had to use tech support, they've been very good."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"Replication to Forever Cloud."
"Backup/archive to multiple locations."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Comparing the features and the working pattern, definitely they have to come down on pricing if they want to compete in the market."
"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."
"It could be a little more customizable."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"The solution's base operating system needs to be improved."
