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 agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"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."
"The product is simply easy to use, efficient, and its out-of-the-box configuration just works."
"Rubrik provides excellent customer service and technical support."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"If a fast recovery and scalability are critical points, then this is the best choice."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"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)."
 

Cons

"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"Its cost is high."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"Rubrik is expensive."
 

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."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"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."
"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."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
