A competitive and balanced solution that offers solid performance at a reasonable price
I worked very closely with ExaGrid in Singapore. We are trying to build up the market for ExaGrid in Vietnam. We hope to be a big distributor for ExaGrid and that the picture will improve next year. Regarding the technology of ExaGrid, they have a landing zone, and now it's a very exhaustive solution, especially compared with Dell Data Domain and HPE. HPE offers normal storage without any special solution. Dell has DD Boost, and so the performance is high. On that basis, I rate the ExaGrid Tiered Backup Storage number with an overall score of eight out of ten. People might be more familiar with Data Domain or StoreOnce. And if people want a professional solution, there are only three brands.

Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Rubrik provides excellent customer service and technical support."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"The same test case in Rubrik takes more than six to seven times longer, meaning the on-premises SLA is significantly faster."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
