Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"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."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
