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

"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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 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."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"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."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Overall the product is really good."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"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."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"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 improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"There are so many things Rubrik has done right. They need to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"Its cost is high."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"The reporting can be vague, especially when something is failing."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
