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

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Smooth integration into customer's environment, interactive UI."
"Asigra's client-less approach is one of the best in the industry."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"Customer Service: 10/10. Never seen support like it."
"Rubrik's all-in-one approach removed all the complexity."
"Rubrik has allowed our Managed Backup product to be elevated from a home-brewed concoction of free backup products wrapped in our special glue to a modern, intelligent, single-pane-of-glass orchestration engine."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"Since switching to Rubrik, our backup times have decreased significantly, going from two and a half days to one and a half hours for certain systems."
"The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"At this point, we have a 100% success rate, which was definitely not the case with any prior system that I've used."
 

Cons

"I think the product needs more diversity in Hyper-V."
"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"I think Asigra still needs to simplify their GUI."
"More integration with leading storage solutions."
"I wouldn't describe it as a scalable solution."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it would be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers."
"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."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"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."
"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

"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."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"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."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
