We performed a comparison between IBM Tivoli CDP for Files, Rubrik, and Veritas Backup Exec based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The restoration and infrastructure is extremely reliable."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"The interface, dashboard, and pricing are all perfect."
"The solution is stable."
"It's quite stable, and so far, we have had no technical issues with Veritas Backup Exec."
"The most important feature is the variety of backup applications it supports, including ERP systems and most other programs, such as Microsoft."
"The interface easy to use and it is compatible with most backup devices."
"The product provides automated and faster data backup and recovery compared to other vendors."
"This solution works well and has good integration with technologies such as VMware and Hyper-V."
"The product's most valuable feature is scalability."
"We would like to have the opportunity to omit data from being backed up. For example, we have three virtual machines, each with three disks. When running the backup, it will automatically take each disk rather than allowing us to select what data we want backed."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
"The reports could be made in an easier way."
"Veritas Backup Exec should be more user-friendly. The costs should also be much lower and it should be easier to go through the disaster recovery process."
"I would like to be able to create a restore task that can be scheduled so that the same restore action will be performed automatically."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"We've experienced some performance issues with Backup Exec. The backup jobs take too long to complete."
"It is currently missing the dynamic backup feature for virtual machines, which is available in NetWorker. I can create politics in NetWorker to add virtual machines with specific tags, but I cannot do this in Backup Exec, which is a minus point for me. Currently, a user has to send a request to the Backup administrator to add a machine to the backup, but I should be able to create rules to automatically add a new machine to the backup. This kind of functionality is very important in current times, especially when we are using cloud solutions. I should be able to create more than one stream in a policy and specify how many streams I want to run in parallel in one policy. Currently, I have to manually create more policies to backup more than one virtual machine at the same time. Their support can also be improved in terms of response time."
"I wish that they have an outlet for the other products from Veritas built into the Backup Exec product. For example, Backup Exec does only server backup. Currently, it is possible to read the backup of one other product, but if they can add more products so that you can just go into the dashboard of these other products by clicking on a button within the Backup Exec product, it would be great."
