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

"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."
"Asigra’s multi-tenancy feature is most valuable as it allows the company to on-sell a private cloud backup and recovery solution to existing customers."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"The cost is very reasonable; it's one of the cheapest options on the market, and any company can easily afford this product."
"I am personally a fan of Exchange email level and MS SQL db level backups."
"The solution has been very stable."
"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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The most important feature is the instant recovery of virtual machines, as it allows us to restore services in minutes."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Rubrik was heads-and-shoulders above the rest of them in terms of ease of use."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"There is a lot of flexibility in how it can be deployed, and where their data can be backed up (i.e. on-premise or in the cloud)."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced, with reduced infrastructure complexity and easy, fast restores."
 

Cons

"Asigra's implementation and day-to-day costs are very high; necessary features can significantly increase the cost of implementation."
"Technical Support: 5/10, Due to different timezones it would always be difficult to get hold of a tech."
"Product would occasionally encounter issues when it impacted other software."
"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 UI could do with a facelift."
"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."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"Its cost is high."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Asigra could improve, it is expensive. We have purchased an annual license."
"Asigra is priced competitively, but requires technical expertise to operate, optimize, and maintain its services."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"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 are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
