Affordable, easy to use, and offers good pricing
The solution is primarily used for the backup of the endpoints within our organization The solution has been very stable. It's quite easy to use and simple to navigate around. The performance has always been very good.  The pricing of the product is excellent. I wouldn't describe it as a…

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

"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"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."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
 

Cons

"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"The management could be a bit better."
"We would like to see more support for Hyper-V."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"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."
"Rubrik is an expensive product, more expensive than most."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"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."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"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."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
