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."This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."

"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"The solution helps reduce costs."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"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 is cheap, and you get good performance."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The initial setup is complex."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"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."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"It is an expensive product."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"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."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
