An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

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

"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
 

Cons

"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"The same test case in Rubrik takes more than six to seven times longer, meaning the on-premises SLA is significantly faster."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"It is an expensive product."
