Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use
During the current times, solutions must have a backup system from a main server, and an active directory service. Also, it is no longer important to have a backup for different environments, such as databases, application servers, and web servers. However, ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus must get a main server for itself.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Rubrik's automation has really impacted my operations positively by providing smooth automation for most backup and recovery tasks."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"Portal identity management should improve."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"User interface could be improved."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"Its price tends to go up with time. Its pricing definitely has room for improvement. If you negotiate right with them, you might get a good price. Support is a part of the package, and every three years, when we renew our contract, we get new hardware."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
