We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veeam Agent for Linux [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"The really amazing feature about Veeam Agent is that when you're using the central deployment model, you can actually use the instant VM recovery feature, which is really a pain point that I find some days."
"Veeam has a "next, next, finish" installer, and the overall deployment is straightforward. The deployment is easy because Veeam is compatible with all our VMware services and VMs. Veeam Backup and Veeam ONE are integrated into vCenter or vSphere site deployments, so we don't need to deploy each server one by one."
"The most valuable feature is the instant restore option."
"It's simple to use."
"The initial setup and deployment are easy. It's straightforward."
"The flexibility and user-friendliness of Veeam make it very IT operations-friendly."
"It's most compatible with VMware. It can restore single files instead of having to restore the whole machine, once again leading to savings for the company."
"What I find most valuable about this solution, is that the user experience is very simple."
"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."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"It is an expensive product."
"User interface could be improved."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"In the next version, I would like to see an increase in the locations online. I have found that other products have good pickup location."
"The solution is pretty stable right now, however, we believe that the solution could be made to be even more stable."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
"More Linux systems should be made compatible with the solution."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"In terms of the physical environment, I'd like them to integrate it with other kinds of solutions. We don't just work with Microsoft or Linux, but other kinds of infrastructure data as well."
"It could use deduplication features."
"Technical support could be improved."
