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."
"Cloud backup is easier to manage and administer than our previous tape solution."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"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."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"Asigra's agent-less capabilities make it a very convenient solution to implement."
"Once you have Asigra, you are set, it’s a rock solid platform that works every time."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Rubrik has the best vendor support that I've dealt with; they're probably the best, they're the most knowledgeable, they're the most respectful, they call a lot better, and they will follow through to the end."
"The Live Mount feature is one of the main features we use; it is saving us time in restoring the VMs, allowing us to give them quickly to the developers for testing, resulting in a faster turnaround time."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
 

Cons

"The UI could do with a facelift."
"Customer services would be a 3 out of 5, simply due high turnover and lack of communication."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"The management could be a bit better."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"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."
"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."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system."
"One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious."
"At the time of this review, Rubrik is still missing several components to their Office 365 backup offering."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough."
 

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."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"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."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
