Find out in this report how the two Deduplication Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Barracuda's support is probably one of the best things about them, even with all their solutions. With any problem that we have, or even questions, we get the assistance that we need. The turnaround is pretty quick."
"The scalability of the product is fine."
"Most important is its ease of use. You plug it in, follow the steps, and you have your backup file."
"It's a one-stop shop, meaning we just program and schedule the backups, decide what is being backed up, and then it automatically replicates and deduplicates."
"The superior support from Barracuda in setting up, using, and helping with issues for the product."
"The most valuable features are the deduplication that analyzes data to identify duplicate patterns and granular restore."
"Its interface is intuitive, and it is easy to use when I am restoring files. Barracuda does a really excellent job at compression, which makes it very efficient. Eight years later, I am only halfway through to the capacity, which is very good."
"The most important feature in Barracuda Backup is the ability to archive the backup of emails."
"The initial setup is easy."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"In the next release of this solution, I would like to see cloud support and deduplication functionality."
"The tool is not user-friendly. The solution should also improve its compatibility. It is also not license-based."
"Some features like CIFS are not supported that would help speed and flexibility."
"I would like to see better integration with third-party applications."
"Setting up Barracuda Backup is straightforward."
"The backup feature could be a bit simpler to utilize. They should make the process of backing up individual files simpler."
"It would be nice to have some reports generated on the usage, but it is not essential."
"Their technical support is not very good. You never know what they are doing and what is the issue. Customers need to know what is happening. This is our main concern and the only thing that can be improved in this solution. I would like to have more visibility about what is going on when something happens. I need to know what was done to solve the issue."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"Its cost is high."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"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."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
