Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."
"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"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."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"The initial setup is complex."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
