We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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 ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"The intelligent policies feature is used in order to protect the VMware infrastructure. One of the things that makes a big difference for our company is the usage of these intelligence policies. The system automatically provides extra protection for any VMware server application or service. From a backup administrator's point of view, this is what we call peace of mind. It reduces the workload and therefore reduces resources needed from the company."
"Compared to a homemade installation, this appliance is very stable."
"We find the pricing is reasonable."
"This is a good backup interconversion solution because all the masters and the targets backups are on the same system. It is easy to administrate for a single point of access for clients."
"The tool's most valuable feature is recovery."
"The most valuable feature involves VMware Instant Recovery, which allows one to do restoration within seconds."
"I think the solution is very intuitive, effective, and easy to use."
"I have no stability issues to report...The initial setup is quite simple."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"The desirability of appliance solutions is dwindling in the marketplace."
"The challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
"The product must improve its recovery features."
"The reporting feature can be improved."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
"The configuration can sometimes be tricky during implementation."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
