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.

Helps reduce costs, saves staff time, and is flexible
Using Veritas Alta Data to copy data from on-premises to the cloud is easy. Veritas Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to use. It is flexible and can be used on Windows or Linux. With basic knowledge, we can implement the solution without any problems. Alta Data's immutable storage protects our data from ransomware by making it unchangeable and recoverable. Alta Data helps provide data protection across multiple cloud environments. The integration is smooth, so we can integrate between AWS, GCP, and Azure to move duplicate data to other locations. The anomaly detection extension is available in the 10.1 release and can be used for VMware backups. In a future release, it will be available for other workloads. With the addition of ransomware and anomaly detection to Veritas Alta Data, our clients are more comfortable knowing their data is safe. Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to get started. Alta Data frees up our staff time because they need to check the system in the morning, and if there are any backup issues, the longest it takes to resolve them is two hours. Alta Data helps reduce costs by freeing staff time to focus on other projects, saving the organization valuable resources.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"I think the best feature is its masterless architecture."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"A Google-like file search, system scaling, and a frequent development cycle are some positives that this solution offers."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
 

Cons

"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"Its cost is high."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
