"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"I like the core backup feature. I also like the file server backup feature. I find Microsoft DPM interesting because it has fantastic integration with Microsoft products. For example, in Exchange and SharePoint, DPM is excellent when it comes to backing up data. It also does a decent job with open-source products."

"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."

"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."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"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 problem lies with the 2019 version, it's the file system they’re using."
"Additional Hyper-V knowledge would be great."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"The data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"Compatibility and integration with other products needs improvement."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"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."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
