Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution is stable."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"t's a very good solution with multiple options with VxRail series like based on customer requirements whether they're focused on compute, storage, scalability and high performance, etc. Whether a customer you are going to start your IT Infrastructure footprint with a limited budget, you have freedom of choice and non-disruptive expansion in the future, whether in the main data center or branches. Any idea coming in system admins mind to run this setup continuously and keep service 100% 24/7 is possible in this product line. Hyper-converged appliances allow a datacenter in a box approach, with G, E P, Vand P series."
"It helps our servers and it is very efficient."
"Enterprise is a complete solution that includes performance, backups and disaster recovery."
"There is no in-depth config involved nor third-party needed, saving us time and money."
"I like the new releases that Dell EMC is doing with VMware. They are allowing for flexibility across the hybrid cloud. This allows organizations to use containers and to be able to move into the public cloud, but also not have lock-in. They can come back to the private cloud when they want to, so it's creating a lot of flexibility across the stack."
"We like the design and that it meets data storage needs."
"It is very powerful. We find that to be the most valuable aspect. The movement of devices between nodes is very easy."
"It gives us tons of flexibility. We can create new machines, then destroy them if they don't work out. We test a lot of use cases that may or may not play out. We can build all types of scenarios into virtual machines that we may or may not use. If we don't use them, we just turn them off, no using up resources."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"Lacks integration of licenses so that it's an expensive solution."
"The product could support and have more compliance with other vendors."
"The support charges for VxRail should be optimized and made cheaper."
"The licensing is a bit too costly."
"Integration could be improved."
"if we're looking at costs, Nutanix will win because it allows flexibility in the type of hardware you can use."
"We do not use the storage part of VxRail, we use Pure Storage to map out the VxRail because the disk performance from Pure Storage was far better than the performance of the disk on the inside of VxRail."
"It would be nice if the update process was shortened and that patching would be simpler."
