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

"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 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."
"The Asigra product on the whole is a fantastic solution and I would highly recommend this as it delivers everything our business and our subsequent customers required."
"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."
"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."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"It has a ​single pane of glass interface."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"Saved tons of man hours on not having to do constant babysitting."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The thing that sets Rubrik apart is the instant recovery feature."
"Easy, no need to worry about managing backup jobs."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"The management could be a bit better."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"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."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"The reporting feature should be improved. I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"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."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"At the time of this review, Rubrik is still missing several components to their Office 365 backup offering."
"One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
 

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."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"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."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
