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."Backup of SAP/Oracle -- they are more robust than the competition."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is a traditional backup model. If you talk about file server and the official Windows database, it's a stable product."
"It is very easy to use and the interaction with various systems is very handy."
"Performs the backup properly and protects our data."
"It's supports Unix, Linux, all of the OS's. It's very stable software."
"This solution is quite stable because we have only three users."
"The initial setup is straightforward if you understand Data Protector."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"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."
"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"The product can be developed by including functionalities like DR, CDP, and SureBackup, which are currently unavailable in the solution."
"The technical support is poor and should be improved."
"I do not think that this solution is relevant in the current IT market. They have not upgraded their features and functionalities which makes it difficult for them to remain competitive."
"Faster VEAgent Restores"
"The online backups of Office 365 have room for improvement. This is now available for the Exchange Online part of Office 365, but we're still waiting for SharePoint Online, Teams, etc. We know that it's coming, but it takes time."
"The graphical interface needs to be improved."
"We faced some certification issues after we upgraded to version 10.2."
"It's very expensive compared to Veeam and other similar solutions."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
