Manages virtual machine backups smoothly and simplifies restoration across environments
It is quite easy to manage AWS Backup's centralized console for multiple environments. The product's interface is intuitive. AWS Backup has a much higher price if you compare it with the snapshots. I have to pay for the whole environment by AWS. We have a backup solution with only virtual machines. The rest of it, we have a restore point.

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.

Cons

"The tool is a good fit if your environment is VM-specific. However, it might not be the most suitable option if you have physical servers or an on-premise setup."
"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"AWS Backup could benefit from including more services. Currently, it only includes around ten services, while AWS offers over three hundred plus services."

"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AWS Backup is free of cost, but we need to pay for the backup storage being used."
"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"The product is inexpensive."
"Price-wise, I rate the solution a six out of ten. One only has to pay for the storage cost of AWS solutions, which is the standard cost provided by AWS."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"There is a lot of flexibility with the services and pricing. The price is reasonable when compared to other products. This is very good for us."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"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."
