The sync process has been quick and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer
The pCloud sync server client has worked well in the trial version. As advertised, it has a sync drive integrated into File Explorer. I can easily configure it to selectively sync any local drive in File Explorer and use it normally. The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer.

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 can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
 

Cons

"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"It is an expensive product."
"I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"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."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"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."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
