We performed a comparison between Dell PowerProtect DP (IDPA) and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."The solution is strong."
"It is very simple to perform an upgrade of the system and the environment."
"The product is integrated with Huawei software and its backup and recovery time is very fast."
"Instead of four or five tools, consisting of backup software, storage where the backup resides, and a separate system for reporting and central monitoring, they all now come in the virtual edition for IDP."
"We use it for complete backup and recovery. We have multiple clients and have created multiple large virtual capabilities and zoning backlogs."
"The product is easy to troubleshoot and store data."
"It backs up our Windows systems and our Linux systems and everything."
"IDPA's best feature is Turbo Boost Technology. The compression and duplication features are excellent, too."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"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."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"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."
"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The product's index master feature needs improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of network connectivity."
"The price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."
"After resizing and compression, the system continuously runs out of space. Dell EMC doesn't do automatic cleanup or other things, so we constantly have to manually go in there or work with Dell support on this. The solution has not been working as advertised."
"I would like to see integration with Dell EMC's Cloud Tier."
"The only thing that could be improved would be the complexity of the initial setup."
"We would like to see the pricing drop a bit."
"The solution should be easier to use."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"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."
