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

"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution has been very stable."
"It allows our backup engineers to build great relationships with customers as they know their data is being protected by best-in-class software."
"The most important feature is the instant recovery of virtual machines, as it allows us to restore services in minutes."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"Having said that, we can instantly recover an entire customer's environment in minutes and run happily on the system until a storage vMotion is completed to production storage without any issues."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"I would estimate that Rubrik recovery testing saves us 80% in time as compared to our prior solution."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
 

Cons

"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"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 GUI isn't the slickest, because Asigra has opted to focus on features and capability over a shiny interface."
"The management could be a bit better."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"Currently, the physical server agent will only back up folder structures and not truly give you the ability to restore to a bare-metal box."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
 

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."
"Rubrik's support is definitely on the expensive side, but I consider it to be top of the line. We incur no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"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."
"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."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"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."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
