We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"The solution’s ransomware recovery, from a security perspective, is one of the biggest features of the product. We don't have to worry about the operational complexity of air-gapped backups and can rely more on the immutability approach. It is a highly valued feature in this solution."
"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."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Technical support is good."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows are the backups, ease of use, and report manager."
"The solution is very affordable for small businesses."
"Solution provides good security."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"Veeam helps to create a stable environment with virtual servers."
"Technical support is good. They're very responsive. It depends on the timezone responding, but I usually get a response within three hours of creating a ticket."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"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."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"User interface could be improved."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"I would like there to be more integration with other platforms."
"Maybe in the future, they could do something better with the user interface and the performance, but so far it's a really good, efficient solution."
"I would like to see the ability for incremental backups and reverse backups."
"I've found a lot of difficulties on the initial setup and especially in terms of credentials. We really need a Window OS. It doesn't like the domain admin account. it's a primary permission issue."
"Updating and configuration can sometimes be a little bit of a hassel, but once you know the product better it is easy to use."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"If they could let you can do replication to physical servers - a backup from physical servers and a replication to physical servers - that will be better."
