The organization has experienced ROI from Druva inSync through bandwidth saving, storage, and manpower optimization.
Rubrik provides long-term return on investment for my customers, as well as immediate benefits because of deduplication and compression, drastically reducing the cost on the storage side from traditional to Rubrik.
The support can depend on the region, and for larger customers, I advise having a Technical Account Manager for better assistance.
For the support, I can provide a rating of four only because they initially provide some steps, but later say they are not sure, which is a problem in a production environment.
The technical support from Druva inSync deserves a rating of 10.
They offer 24/7 support and even have a dedicated ransomware hotline with a team ready to engage immediately.
Rubrik's support has been good, better than many other vendors like Microsoft, VMware, and Dell.
Rubrik provides excellent customer service and technical support.
Cohesity DataProtect is built on a scale-out architecture, which means it can effectively scale to meet various needs.
The scalability of Druva inSync deserves a rating of 10.

Azure Backup solution offers faster restoration for data over six terabytes compared to on-premises.
Rubrik is highly scalable, with a rating of nine out of ten based on its seamless integration.
On the whole, any problems were more related to hardware limitations rather than issues with Cohesity DataProtect itself.
Rubrik has been stable, and we have not experienced any downtime.
When you do the restore, it is also stable and quickly delivering what we have been looking for.
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.
While there are improvements to be made, such as providing support for older systems like IBM iSeries and tandem systems from HP, the solution overall shifts from older methods to modern practices.
There is room to improve the user interface of Cohesity DataProtect for more intuitive navigation.
To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP.
In the next release, I would like to see additional features and functionalities that focus more on AI functionality, similar to what other vendors offer.
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.
I find Cohesity DataProtect to be expensive.
From my perspective, Druva inSync is reasonably priced.
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.
The platform is based on a scale-out architecture with each node having compute, RAM, SSD, and HDD.
Global deduplication ensures that only unique data blocks are stored, significantly reducing storage consumption.
Some of the most valuable features of Cohesity DataProtect for me include instant mass restore, anomaly detection, and its ability to handle large data volumes effectively.
The solution provides significant ROI through bandwidth saving, storage, and manpower optimization.
The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks.
Since switching to Rubrik, our backup times have decreased significantly, going from two and a half days to one and a half hours for certain systems.
Even if my network is compromised by ransomware, the file system does not allow overwriting of the backups, ensuring that my backups remain safe.

Reviews from Real Users
Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Rubrik users.
PeerSpot user Chadd B., System Administrator at a manufacturing company, says, “The solution is easy to use with an intuitive web interface, helpful support, good performance, and saves us time. 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. The VM backup and the SQL backup are blazingly fast for both backup and recovery.”
A Storage Administrator at a healthcare company explains that the solution “Cut our backup management time significantly, and the near-instant recovery reduces our downtime. He also comments that “The scalability is wonderful. That is one of our biggest advantages with this.”
Burhan S., Systems Engineer at Harvard University, mentions, "There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."
Kevin M., Head Of Operations at University of Reading, states, “The solution’s SLA-based functionality means we don't have to manually manage backup windows, and recovery times have been notably reduced. Its web interface is really easy to use. It's just click and go. It's fast and intuitive. We've never had any problems in navigating.”
