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

"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"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."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"Since we have implemented Asigra we don’t have an administrator to do manual backup to tapes and external HDD; everything is automated and there are no hassles for the administrator."
"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."
"With this new product, Rubrik, we walked into it blind, not being backup admins, and it made a lot of sense to us."
"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."
"I think the best feature is its masterless architecture."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"The live mount capability is the most valuable feature in the product because it reduces the complexity and gives us good RTO."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"If a fast recovery and scalability are critical points, then this is the best choice."
 

Cons

"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"They should have 24/7 support for customers in different time zones. They are slow to respond to requests, and I get the impression that the ServiceDesk is overloaded."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"User interface could be improved."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
 

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."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"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."
"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 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."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"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."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
