Affordable, easy to use, and offers good pricing

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

"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"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."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature from a simplicity point of view is that it is very simple and easy to deploy and scale."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"There are so many things Rubrik has done right. They need to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"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."
 

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."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"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."
"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."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
