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

"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"The solution has been very stable."
"I have found all the features useful in the solution."
"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."
"Virtual Disaster Recovery in version 13 is a game-changer, especially for VMWare shops."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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 user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"I think Rubrik is a very good backup solution; it works well, is pretty reliable, stable, and easy to use, and I don't see any negatives in Rubrik, only positives."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"With this new product, Rubrik, we walked into it blind, not being backup admins, and it made a lot of sense to us."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
 

Cons

"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The setup and configuration of this product is quite complex."
"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."
"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"There are improvements required with the virtualization solution, I'm sure we will see a significant change in 2017."
"The UI could do with a facelift."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape."
"The user interface could be improved, it's pretty rough."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"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."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"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."
 

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."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"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."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"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."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
