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

"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."
"We can provide a reliable service to our customers."
"It provides a secure and stable cloud backup solution."
"The agentless architecture has minimized our software footprint at the client level."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It has helped us to provide comprehensive data protection with high recovery rates and a malware scanning feature."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud, it is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape, and as a dedicated physical appliance you can back up locally, to another device, and even replicate data between multiple sites."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
 

Cons

"Personally speaking, I think the reporting should be more interactive."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"They should improve the malware scanning capabilities, extending it to protect cloud application data."
"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."
"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."
"Some more work on reporting tools is required to help get better auto-generated information and analysis from the system."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"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 is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be 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."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
