We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The most valuable feature is the daily incremental site backup."
"When I was using an on-premises backup, there was an external hard drive or something like that. I had a backup server, but I had a few problems related to transfer when I had to restore something that I have deleted. I had to wait for after-office hours to do something like that, but now I just have to send a mail. Within one hour, I have my restored file."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The solution is stable."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"The solution's reporting features and restore features can be improved."
"When it comes to encrypting data, it is not so convenient."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"One improvement I would like to see in AWS Backup is the implementation of incremental backups."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"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 would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"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."
"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."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
