Featured Reviews

Hendrik Belitz - PeerSpot reviewer
Has a straightforward setup process and valuable data security policies
The product's sales process needs improvement. It takes a lot of work to acquire it. AvePoint doesn't sell products directly to the customers. They take the help of IT system distributors. It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it. This particular area needs improvement compared to other companies.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Streamlined data management reduces workload and costs significantly for the team
We are planning to use Rubrik Go's AI-powered insights for predictive analytics, but have not implemented this yet. I cannot provide updates on Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks because I have not used that feature yet. Rubrik Go's integration capabilities with cloud providers have benefited my multi-cloud environment significantly. Rubrik Go's subscription model has helped me align my data protection investments, which is a good option as I am one of the customers who have deployed this subscription option. I am definitely satisfied with the licensing model as it is very simplified and easy to understand. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Rubrik Go a 9.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The initial setup is super easy."
"It is a very good and stable solution...With AvePoint's support, our experience has been exceptional"
"It is the best product in the market for Office 365 backup, and our customers are satisfied with it."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"This product has positively impacted my organization because in the legacy tool, we used to have significant workload and significant people to be deployed, in this case, we have very minimal requirements."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
 

Cons

"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"Some customers choose other backup solutions because AvePoint is Office 365 and CRM backup system, but they have other backup needs for Azure and so on. Such customers often choose another backup solution instead of AvePoint."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"I would like to see improvements in the tool's initial seed. The initial seed of around 10 TB of SharePoint data took 45 days to complete."
"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"This is a very costly solution."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
