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."We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"It is a good overall suite of products."
"The product makes it easy to restore data."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"The interface for this solution is excellent, and it is easy to restore files compared to other solutions."
"It is easy to set up and use for daily processes and a good solution for preserving crucial data."
"We are happy with Veritas Backup Exec's stability."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"We need to have duplication and better compression."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"They can work on the issue of the job timing out when it is unable to reach a selection item. It sometimes hangs up on the selection item, thus preventing the job from continuing."
"Its scalability should be improved."
"I would like to see this solution improve on faster restoration. Currently, it takes a long time to restore my data."
"There needs to be an integration process of the endpoint devices so that we don't have to redo everything for different products."
"The solution is too heavy and complex with 1,000 menus and options that make it messy rather than lightweight."
"Maybe they could improve reporting capabilities and predictions."
