Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"It is a good backup tool."
"I have not seen another backup solution as scalable as this one."
"The backup solution comes in different versions to support different platforms."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"Veritas Backup Exec is easily managed."
"I have found the overall features of the solution very good and there is the option to backup to the cloud."
"The dashboard was good. I loved to see the maintenance dashboard every time I logged on. That was my first screen because it always gave me a reminder of how many days before my next renewal."
"Veritas NetBackup is a scalable solution."
"It is easy to use, and you can run it with all kinds of client software environments. It works well with the most popular software, file systems, and operating systems. It is very useful to us."
"We believe that everything Veritas NetBackup offers, including backups, snapshots, deduplication, and replication, is valuable."
"NetBackup is highly stable. We have more than 1,800 policies that run every day."
"The solution offers the hardware and the software at the same time."
"I like the cross-platform features."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"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."
"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."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"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."
"It doesn't support the AIX platform."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Initial setup is a bit complex and needs some expertise for troubleshooting when something goes wrong."
"They can improve the reporting component. The reports aren't user-friendly at all. You have to download them to Excel to get statistics."
"If you keep it for too long and the catalog gets really big, the application tends to move slowly."
"Better integration with non-Microsoft products would be an improvement."
"Veritas Backup Exec's support services could be faster."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"The product could improve the user-friendliness and comfort of its environment, especially for those unfamiliar with it."
"Its integration with Nutanix and technical support can be improved."
"DDBoost."
"It's not a user-friendly solution. It's a little bit complicated. The UI is not very friendly."
"Data restoration from Veritas NetBackup is quite slow. I would also like documentation that I can share with my technical team."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"Endpoint backup capability is needed."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
