We performed a comparison between Arcserve UDP and Rubrik 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 interface is very refined, works fine, and is very intuitive most of the time. Scalability is nice. The multi-tenancy feature is very welcome. The integration with Linux works fine too."
"It is very stable."
"It is easy to configure."
"Arcserve UDP has a good configuration and user interface. It makes the job of an administrator easy."
"The standard backup and restore feature is most used."
"The ease of use is the best feature of the product."
"Our customers are happy with the product’s functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Arcserve UDP is the initiative UI and the logs are clear and detailed that are generated when there has been an issue or failure on the user's system. We only have to log onto the client's system to retrieve the information. It is possible to precisely identify the problem's location. The system categorizes and logs every step in a structured manner, selectively displaying only the essential logs. However, to view a comprehensive log, one must access the line machine log and examine the actual client for detailed logging."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Based on my experience, whenever we need support, there are difficulties with communication when trying to resolve the issue."
"Its interface can be improved. I find it unintuitive."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly. It can be difficult to assign destinations and choose which files and folders we need to back up. There are some aspects that are unclear."
"The tool doesn't provide cloud integration in India."
"Backups are very slow and time consuming."
"The problem is just reliability. If the promises in the marketing material were realized in real life, it would be the perfect solution, but it's just the reliability issues."
"The support could be more knowledgeable and faster."
"The time to backup servers that sit in DMZ must be improved."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"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."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
