Integration with other vendors is also seamless.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
The scalability is excellent.
There are limitations, such as the inability to upgrade from a single to dual CPU in certain configurations.

The product is very stable, and I rate its stability as nine out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Rubrik needs improvements in GUI, error reporting, integration, support, pricing, security, and a more intuitive interface.
Veeam Data Platform faces integration and support challenges, high costs, and complex setup, impacting functionality and user satisfaction.
VxRail users face installation, compatibility, security, and cost challenges, seeking better performance, integration, and support enhancements.
I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics.
We need more efficient search capabilities that allow searching by last name or login ID.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
It requires a very clean environment to proceed without issues.
The major issue with VxRail is the razoring process, which can only be performed by Dell.
Stabilizing the update procedure further would make it better.
 

Setup Cost

Rubrik's high cost is justified by its operational ease, comprehensive features, integrated solutions, and reduced management time for enterprises.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with predictable CPU socket-based licensing, though additional features can increase costs.
VxRail's high initial and ongoing costs provide long-term value for enterprises but challenge smaller businesses financially.
Rubrik is considered expensive, with a price rating of three out of ten.
We could mix and match to optimize costs for our needs.
Rubrik's pricing is a little costly.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
From what I know, it is expensive to add modules, with a scale rating of eight out of ten.
Previously, the cost was higher, however, recent changes in VMware pricing have reduced it.
Purchasing VxRail is quite expensive compared to a simple Dell server.
The cost varies for us as a large company because we receive special offers from Dell.

Veeam Data Platform is praised for ease of use, scalability, cloud integration, and effective backup and recovery solutions.
VxRail offers seamless upgrades, robust performance, and streamlined management, making it ideal for diverse workloads with simplified operations.
Since switching to Rubrik, our backup times have decreased significantly, going from two and a half days to one and a half hours for certain systems.
The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks.
When some of our VMs crashed, Rubrik was instrumental in restoring them, which proves its efficiency and reliability.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.
Customers prefer the single pane of glass management and integration with VMware, which makes it easier for them to proceed with decisions involving VMware products.
The features of VxRail that we find most useful for our customers include the easy update mechanism and the support for both VMware and hardware.
Another benefit is the fully automated upgrade process, which is completed with just one click through the VxRail Manager.

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.
