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."Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The solution is very simple. Management of the platform is so simple that we don't need to have any training to deploy this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its integration with Veeam Backup & Replication console."
"What I found most valuable in Veeam Agent for Linux is that it can unify machines and even simplify management."
"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."
"The technical support is good."
"It is scalable."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The only thing I really like about it is that you can deploy it from Backup and Replication onto a virtual Linux machine."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"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 price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"It could use deduplication features."
"It has no cloud backup feature. You can't back up anywhere outside of your local network."
"One problem in Veeam Agent for Linux is that you can't use your license for all your machines because you don't have a virtual machine, so if you're going to add machines and scale, you'd need to pay extra."
"We are currently waiting for the continuous backup process."
"It would be much better if more applications were supported on the Linux side. For example, their agent for Windows not only can back up the Windows machine, but it can also back up Active Directory for granular restore, SQL servers, Exchange, Oracle, SharePoint, etc. When it comes to Linux, only Oracle databases are supported. There are workarounds, though."
"Technical support could be improved."
"Scalability, if you are talking about Linux, is good. However, if you need to backup more types of solutions or Unix systems, like HP/UX, AIX, etc., it's not compatible."
"There is a compatibility issue with HCI."
