We performed a comparison between AWS Backup and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Backup solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is its ease of use."
"AWS Backup's most valuable feature is that you can configure it remotely to create backups."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"We can directly back up EC2 instances in AWS without using any third-party applications."
"It is an easy-to-use solution."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"It has a single pane of glass interface."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Its cost could be better than a few of its competitors."
"The notifications on the backup and on the mobile app could be more useful. If they could arrange notes or notifications properly and offer services for managing it in our region, it would be helpful for us."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"Only the price could be improved."
"If AWS Backup were a hybrid solution that also supported on-premises backups then it would be very helpful, especially if you are doing a migration to the cloud."
"It requires a lot of time to connect the snapshot, identify the files, and restore a single file manually."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"This backup tool does the full backup of the entire snapshot server. I would like to have the option to not do the full server backup."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"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. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"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."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
