We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP 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 product provides instant and virtual standbys."
"The data protection functionality is the most valuable feature of this solution."
"The most valuable features are the replication to the cloud and the deduplication."
"The product's deployment process was straightforward."
"It is very stable."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"I like the tool's speed."
"This product is extremely user-friendly and it is capable of performing large-scale archive/backup (five+ years worth). It is easy to store, maintain, and check backups."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"The speed of restores should be improved. We have found the speed of large restores rather slow."
"We could not go into granular details of retrieving backup information."
"Licensing can be quite difficult."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"In the most recent version of premium plus the replication has been removed, and it should re-added to the solution."
"Every time I change the disc, I have to do a full backup."
"I had an issue with Arcserve UDP during the failover and the secondary machine didn't get back online, even though it ran automatically. I faced the issue during a crisis situation. However, I haven't faced such a problem again."
"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."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
