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

"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."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The solution has been very stable."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"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."
"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."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"I highly recommend the solution as it's very user-friendly and easy to work with out-of-the-box; there's nothing complex about it."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"The Live Mount feature is one of the main features we use; it is saving us time in restoring the VMs, allowing us to give them quickly to the developers for testing, resulting in a faster turnaround time."
"The instant recovery aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect for me."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"Implementing Rubrik has saved us time and money in managing backups, and I estimate that we've saved approximately 80% in terms of time compared to previously."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"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."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"Some of the areas that need improvement are the user GUI (multi-tenancy) and the promised Rubrik Edge solution, which will allow customers to back up their physical devices in our cloud."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
 

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 solution is expensive for small businesses."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"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."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
