We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Unitrends based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"The ability to backup both physical and virtual machines, along with having an appliance store the backups locally instead of on a file server, NAS, or SAN."
"Stability-wise, I rate this solution a nine out of ten."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"The ability to diversify jobs within the same server helps break down a large chunk of data into more manageable and concentrated chunks."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"It is an expensive product."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"The solution’s UI can be improved. I am saying this because I have seen solutions with better UIs."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Unitrends can be challenging to scale."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"No appliance update notifications."
"It seems like Unitrends moved away from enterprise customer engagement and moved more towards the managed service provider market."
