Rubrik is highly scalable, with a rating of nine out of ten based on its seamless integration.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is reliable, though dependent on bandwidth, with occasional agent resets on Linux and cost concerns.
Sentiment score
8.1
Rubrik is praised for high reliability, robust performance, and effective support, making it a preferred choice for seamless operations.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform is reliable, but scaling and specific configurations like Oracle backups and Azure scale-out may cause issues.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
Rubrik has been stable, and we have not experienced any downtime.
The prerequisite dependencies with the cost team site, infrastructure, port opening, and adding the complete Rubrik console module take time, depending on the volume of servers and storage occupancy.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs automation, integration, cost optimization, user enhancements, and improved documentation for better efficiency and user-friendliness.
Rubrik needs UI improvements, cost efficiency, better integration, enhanced security, multi-tenant support, and more comprehensive backup options.
Veeam Data Platform needs better support, automation, plugin enhancements, lower pricing, and improved scalability, security, and technology integration.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
We need more efficient search capabilities that allow searching by last name or login ID.
I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics.
Including packaged training with the product at the time of purchase would be beneficial.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as fair value with cost-saving options, though cumulative and alternative costs should be evaluated.
Rubrik is a premium solution with high costs, offering good value and scalability for medium to large enterprises.
Veeam Data Platform offers cost-effective, flexible licensing with minimal setup costs, making it attractive to enterprise buyers.
Rubrik is considered expensive, with a price rating of three out of ten.
We could mix and match to optimize costs for our needs.
Rubrik is expensive due to its robust hardware.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
 

Valuable Features

Even if my network is compromised by ransomware, the file system does not allow overwriting of the backups, ensuring that my backups remain safe.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance.

Featured Reviews

Vijay Londhe - PeerSpot reviewer
Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.
