We performed a comparison between Rubrik and VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"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 Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"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."
"Setting up VMs can be done quickly. It is easy to use."
"Technical support is very proactive and helpful."
"The most valuable features are the backup and disaster recovery services."
"The initial setup is easy depending on the environment you are working with."
"We feel the ability to move virtual machines while they are still running to be the most valuable feature."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"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."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"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."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"The improvements should be as per customer requirements."
"It would be ideal if they added advanced analytics or AI to the solution."
"The automation should be simplified or improved."
"When starting up the replication and converting it to the virtual machine I had some problems. I had to start the process again and that is inconvenient."
"VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery could improve by enhancing the network bandwidth from the storage."
