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.

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

"I like the performance of the restore feature."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"The initial setup is easy."
 

Cons

"We have to do a lot of POC to show why ExaGrid is good."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"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."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ExaGrid is a one-time investment."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"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."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"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."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
