There are challenges with scalability due to the appliances.

Simple to use, easy to implement, and the performance is good
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
  • "I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."

What is our primary use case?

We are a system integration company in Egypt and we provide services to local customers. This is one of the solutions that we use for our clients and we have several different use cases.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs.

The speed of reading and writing VMs is very good.

What needs improvement?

I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Rubrik Go for the past six to nine months.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Since we began with this solution more than six months ago, I haven't heard of any trouble or complaints from our customers.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is fine and it is one of the great benefits of Rubrik Go.

How are customer service and technical support?

To this point, we have had no experience with technical support.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I also have experience with Commvault complete and Acronis.

The performance of Rubrik is similar to that of Commvault. Commvault has all of the features that you want from a backup solution, including things that other solutions do not have, apart from Symantec.

How was the initial setup?

I found the initial setup to be quite easy.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend Rubrik Go.

This solution is very simple and easy to use, and it is easy to implement, but I would like more enhancements and features to be added.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
