We performed a comparison between Rubrik and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has a single pane of glass interface."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"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."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"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."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
