We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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 backup is the most valuable feature. It also makes storage very easy."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The recovery part of the product is very good."
"The most valuable features of this solution are that I can by just one click, copy and paste anything that I would want. I do not have to restore the whole virtual machine."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"Global deduplication is the best feature of this solution."
"Easy restoration and the solution works quickly."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"The solution's reporting could be improved and should provide customized reports."
"We have to use a Microsoft hypervisor for installation which is expensive."
"Licensing is an area that needs improvement."
"I don't know whether the tool has VMware integrations. It would be good to cover this area if it doesn't have those."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"It should be easier to switch between backup locations. We have multiple data storage locations and sometimes one of those storages need to be replaced. It would be nice if they made it easier to reconfigure the backup configuration."
"StorageCraft ShadowProtect can improve by making one console that can control backups of all desktops and servers in one place. Additionally, the recovery process of the backups is very slow and could improve. It's very slow when we went to recover a complete disc but to recover one file is very fast."
"The initial setup was complex."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"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."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
