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

"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"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."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"Rubrik has automation capabilities that help streamline my workflows."
"I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions we have made."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how it can be deployed, and where their data can be backed up (i.e. on-premise or in the cloud)."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"Easy, no need to worry about managing backup jobs."
"Rubrik's customer service is excellent."
 

Cons

"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box."
"Its cost is high."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"At the time of this review, Rubrik is still missing several components to their Office 365 backup offering."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload."
"The reporting can be vague, especially when something is failing."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
"Its price tends to go up with time. Its pricing definitely has room for improvement. If you negotiate right with them, you might get a good price. Support is a part of the package, and every three years, when we renew our contract, we get new hardware."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
