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 most valuable features are the API features because it allows you to integrate with your Microsoft SQL, your Oracle, and your IBM Db2."
"Virtual snapshots that offer incremental backups."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with Oracle."
"The solution's stability is high because it is derived from Spectrum Protect."
"The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."
"What I like about IBM Spectrum Protect Plus is its integration, plus it has very good technical support."
"This is a multi-platform backup solution where you can take a backup from AIX, Windows, or Linux servers and restore from CD, disk, or tape."
"We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"It still needs to grow and add new features. IBM Spectrum Protect Plus, I believe, requires time to become competitive due to a weakness in the other software products."
"IBM Spectrum Protect Plus could improve security."
"There could be better integration with Spectrum Protect and Spectrum Protect Plus, it should be one solution."
"It requires much more automation features."
"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots."
"Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface."
"I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction."
"In the future, I would like to see support for global deduplication."
"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."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
