Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
CarlosCastells - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to do backup, easy to deploy and scalable
I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud. Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
 

Cons

"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"It is an expensive product."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
