"It has simple buying options and deployments. You can buy on-cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solutions. Acronis Backup is very easy to deploy. It also does not consume much hardware. The administrator's tasks are very simple. It is very user friendly, and it also has good security features with low-level encryption and data encryption."
"It works with different types of partitions or different OSs."
"There is advanced management where we can do passing, software inventory, and hardware inventory."
"I like Acronis Cyber Protect's backup process and its management console is intuitive."
"In my opinion, it's the best product for end-users and PCs."
"It's a good solution that's very easy to use. Acronis has two valuable features. The first one is creating images, and the other is starting virtual machines in the cloud so the client can work immediately."
"For me, the cost is a significant advantage."
"The main reasons that our customers like Acronis are that it is very strong and easy to use."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"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."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"The solution's error handling can be improved specifically for Linux errors."
"There are some limitations to the backup."
"The reporting can be improved."
"The biggest problem that we have is when the antivirus is installed, the whole machine runs very slowly and some of the machines hang."
"One improvement that could be made is adding the option to download files in a PST format when doing a 365 or Google Cloud to cloud backup."
"It would be nice if it could support more types of storage: EMC, HPE, Veeam, etc."
"This might be a lack of understanding on my part, but it's difficult to purge old backups."
"This is not a feature-rich solution."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"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."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
