"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"It’s amazing how the solution helps restore old data."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is reliable and easy to use."
"The solution is also easy to manage and work with."
"Its ability to restore at the item level is very valuable. It is very strong at that. In the past, we had to restore a lot of data only for a couple of items. We can now restore an item as well as an email, which is good for productivity."
"Technical support in Veeam is good."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"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."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"The solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by reducing the time it takes for backups. I have mentioned this to Veeam and hopefully, in the next version, it will be a faster backup."
"The solution announced many features two years ago, and they still have not happened, so I would hope that the next release has these ready to go."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"The solution is costly."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
