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

"The solution has been very stable."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"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 most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"Rubrik's automation has really impacted my operations positively by providing smooth automation for most backup and recovery tasks."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The most valuable feature from a simplicity point of view is that it is very simple and easy to deploy and scale."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions we have made."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"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."
"Its cost is high."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"Currently, the physical server agent will only back up folder structures and not truly give you the ability to restore to a bare-metal box."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"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."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
