Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There are two primary improvements of the Asigra platform with the recent version 13.1 SP1: Virtualization: a tremendous variety of data protection solutions for virtual machines, and Cloud-2-Cloud for Office 365, Google, Amazon, etc., making this a full package of data protection platform."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Flexibility really means a lot for us. Being able to address almost every client backup and recovery requirement means that we have a tremendous amount of confidence as do our partners that Blueshift is going to be able to deploy a solution quickly and efficiently."
"Simplicity, very easy to restore user data, means that we don't have to request off site tapes to be delivered to the office, can easily access the cloud data and restore most data within minutes."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Rubrik has absolutely reduced the time we spend on recovery testing by about 75 percent, reduced the time we spend on managing backups by the same amount, and the reduction in recovery time is even greater."
"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."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
 

Cons

"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"The management could be a bit better."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"The same test case in Rubrik takes more than six to seven times longer, meaning the on-premises SLA is significantly faster."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"For Rubrik, though it does a great job, it needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
