We performed a comparison between Acronis Cyber Protect, Commvault Cloud, and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"I've reimaged servers and been back up and running in exactly no time with the completely new hardware."
"One of its most valuable aspects is its user-friendly interface."
"I have not used other backup solutions to compare how well the features work but I have found Acronis Backup to be user-friendly, overall easy to use, and performance is good."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"Centralized management is valuable to us."
"The most valuable feature is the quick restoration. We can restore the data quickly."
"Acronis is a flexible solution. It can back up workstations, endpoints, and even your virtual environments and cloud-based environments. So, we can do the backup of the whole gamut of products."
"The web-based interface makes it easy to use."
"Commvault helps to ensure broad coverage with the discovery of unprotected workloads. This is important. From the moment that we set it up, we mostly have customers telling us what they need to back up. Then, you can list the machines that are not yet protected. Sometimes, we can see that they are unaware of this, and say, "We didn't know that those servers were not protected yet," or "We did not back them up yet.""
"It has significantly reduced the amount of manual work required to manage our backup operations. We're going from an on-prem to a non-on-prem, we're all doing nonsolutions. So we really can't compare it against anything else."
"The product is a reliable solution."
"The diversity on offer is very, very good. Everything is supported. It's great."
"Cloud integration."
"The solution is easy to use and the duplication is quite good."
"We have multiple workloads, including SQL, Oracle, SAP HANA, especially Sybase, as well as file systems, VMs, and Exchange mailboxes. Commvault provides very good support for them."
"The most valuable feature is the deduplication ratio. It saves most of our space and reduces the network traffic."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"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 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 ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"If we could have a mass deployment option using Acronis, that would be helpful."
"There are times when the backups are slow. A faster backup would be better."
"It would be nice to have it on the cloud platform without using third-party equipment."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"The whole product structure is confusing. You can actually get to do what you want to do. But Acronis seems to have a singular ability to make things difficult."
"It would be better if they made it easier to obtain images for laptops and desktops. It isn't easy right now to have many different types of desktop computers. This is because Microsoft is changing a lot of things in Windows 10."
"Some of the default settings out-of-the-box should already be set up for the novice user. For instance, the warnings that say a hard drive has bad sectors and stops the backup from performing."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"Setup is complex."
"In an upcoming release, the reports could be better."
"Command Center definitely gives us a complete view of our data. But finding some of the granular, very small items that we sometimes have to find, such as auxiliary copies for tapes, I still find that it's easier to navigate and, sometimes, only possible to find them using the CommCell tool."
"The navigation of it needs improvement in terms of the UX. The product itself, it works as expected. It's all user experience and user interface improvements that could be made and it could be made a little more consumer-friendly."
"Bare-metal restore needs some work. It's not intuitive and seems to have been an afterthought."
"Its competitor, Veeam, includes backup and replication in the same product. I don't know if Commvault has it or not, but they should if they don't."
"It does not have an easy deployment. The deployment is not something that just anybody can go in and deploy."
"They could work on the implementation of the features."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"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."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
