Rubrik is praised for seamless scalability, ease of expansion, and flexibility, making it ideal for diverse environments.

Rubrik is highly scalable, with a rating of nine out of ten based on its seamless integration.

8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
Sentiment score
8.1
Rubrik is highly stable and reliable, offering efficient support, though some software limitations exist for large user groups.
 

Room For Improvement

Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
Rubrik needs improvements in GUI, error reporting, integration, support, pricing, security, and a more intuitive interface.
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.
 

Setup Cost

Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
Rubrik's high cost is justified by its operational ease, comprehensive features, integrated solutions, and reduced management time for enterprises.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
Rubrik is considered expensive, with a price rating of three out of ten.
 

Valuable Features

Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
Rubrik excels in instant recovery, user-friendly interface, security, scalability, seamless experience, and strong integration with flexible features.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.
The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks.

Richard McGregor - PeerSpot reviewer
Removes a lot of infrastructure, allows us to restore files instantly, and is simple to work with
I particularly like the restore process. Our financial teams make changes to spreadsheets and other files, and we've got teams using Photoshop files. They make mistakes and need to recover files, and we can do that instantly. We also have users who manage to delete folders, and we can bring them back instantly within a few seconds. Knowing that it's all protected from ransomware is also a very big advantage at the moment with the number of ransomware attacks that you see out there. Nasuni is being very protective of that, which is quite good to hear. There were times when we had to replace the filers we've had issues with, and because we know all our data is protected in AWS, we could just turn them off and spin them up. As quickly as in an hour or so, we were back working with zero downtime. That area of functionality is really good. In terms of ease of management, it's the easiest one you can use. It's very simple. It's very easy to set up, very easy to configure, and very easy to manage.

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.
