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

"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"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."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"Asigra is a cost effective solution and very competitive in the market."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"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."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"From Rubrik being delivered to it ingesting backups, it took about an hour."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"Customer Service: 10/10. Never seen support like it."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
"We are seeing about a 62 percent TCO savings and 90 percent management time savings since switching to this solution."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
 

Cons

"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"At present, downloading the relevant files and placing them into a directory on the DS-System is a little cumbersome and open to error/malicious use."
"The management could be a bit better."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"And what about the data services, like the ability to have application-level recovery? Actually this is not included or integrated and it’s far from other products (like Veeam)."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"Native Rubrik is stable, but we have struggled a lot with stability in our recently installed cloud-based instance of the solution."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
 

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."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"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."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"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."
