Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
CarlosCastells - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to do backup, easy to deploy and scalable
I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud. Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"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."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
 

Cons

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"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."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik's support is definitely on the expensive side, but I consider it to be top of the line. We incur no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
