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."Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"The solution helps reduce costs."
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."
"They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."
"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"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."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"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."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Its cost is high."
