Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature.""The solution has been very stable.""The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level.""I have found all the features useful in the solution."

More Asigra Pros →

"Some of the features we find very valuable and use a lot, are retention sets.""The support from IBM is very good.""We used to use the solution with tapes a few years ago. We've switched to discs, and it has gotten much faster.""The solution is scalable.""The solution offers a very straightforward deployment. You click, click, click and it's done. There's not much configuration to do.""Large-scale recoveries are very straightforward.""The feature I find most valuable is the offload to Spectrum Protect for long-term retention. I think the deduplication and replication are quite nice on Plus.""The solution is scalable and can be fitted for any customer."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Pros →

"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes.""Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production""The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive.""It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation.""Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced.""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.""The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature.""The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."

More Rubrik Pros →

Cons
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data.""The management could be a bit better."

More Asigra Cons →

"The solution should allow for backup of iOS snapshots.""The user experience is very bad and the interface needs to be improved.""You end up needing to do a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work effectively.""The replication feature is not available.""I would like more integration with security. We need to show the value of the product in regards to handling security. For example, how it handles current malware or viruses. IBM should be more proactive in this direction.""The tool needs to increase the number of threats.""Instead of using the command prompt for troubleshooting and administering the backup, there should be an easy-to-use graphical user interface.""Not particularly user friendly."

More IBM Spectrum Protect Plus Cons →

"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns.""The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution.""We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help.""Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization.""Could be improved from an analytics point of view.""Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP.""The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves.""I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Rubrik users.

    PeerSpot user Chadd B., System Administrator at a manufacturing company, says, “The solution is easy to use with an intuitive web interface, helpful support, good performance, and saves us time. The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds. The VM backup and the SQL backup are blazingly fast for both backup and recovery.”

    A Storage Administrator at a healthcare company explains that the solution “Cut our backup management time significantly, and the near-instant recovery reduces our downtime. He also comments that “The scalability is wonderful. That is one of our biggest advantages with this.”

    Burhan S., Systems Engineer at Harvard University, mentions, "There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."

    Kevin M., Head Of Operations at University of Reading, states, “The solution’s SLA-based functionality means we don't have to manually manage backup windows, and recovery times have been notably reduced. Its web interface is really easy to use. It's just click and go. It's fast and intuitive. We've never had any problems in navigating.”
