Automation has reduced backup overhead and simplifies multi-cloud protection and disaster recovery
The biggest advantage of Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is that it is agentless, which means Dell manages the platform by reducing maintenance effort and operational overhead. It protects workloads across cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure through a single user graphical interface, and it automatically protects new workloads while reducing manual backup admin tasks, which in turn minimizes human errors. Automation in Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot helps define protection policies such as which resources to protect, when to take snapshots, how long to retain them, and where to copy them, effectively creating and managing snapshots and their retention. The solution does help to streamline IT operations by providing centralized visibility into backup operations, audit logs, and recovery readiness through Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot, which also assists administrators in monitoring protection status.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot has a positive impact by reducing downtime and giving us confidence in recovery."
"In terms of ROI, I would say that Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot saves backup admins between 10 lakh to 20 lakhs per annum, providing a strong ROI by automating protection policies and lowering operational costs."
"It is easy to restore VMs in the cloud."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"I think Rubrik Go is pretty good overall."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"In terms of Rubrik Go's most valuable features, their VM features are good."
"Rubrik Go is both very scalable and stable."
"This product has positively impacted my organization because in the legacy tool, we used to have significant workload and significant people to be deployed, in this case, we have very minimal requirements."
 

Cons

"However, it depends on the customer's use cases and whether they really want to spend that much money and time on it."
"Regarding scalability, I find that while Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot offers multi-cloud scalability, it is not one of its strongest features."
"One area for improvement with Dell PowerProtect Cloud Snapshot is the reporting dashboard."
"One of the issues with the product is that you cannot postpone a specific backup job. If you try to do that, every backup job is paused."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
