Harry Vining - PeerSpot reviewer
The overall ease of use and ease of management using the dashboard is excellent
I can't really think of anything that really needs to be improved from my perspective, because I only use the backup. Maybe someone who is using something else might have a different opinion on that. But for the online backup and recovery tool, I'm not going to say there's anything that needs improvement. They can always improve stuff. But from the top of my head, I can't think of anything. It does what it needs to do. That's it. It doesn't need to do anything more than what it does and nothing less than what it's doing. The Infrascale dashboard when it comes to centralized deployment and configuration is excellent. I have no problems with the solution. They could always make it better. They can always make the GUI a little bit nicer, the interface level a bit better. There's always room for improvement, but there's nothing on the top of my head that's saying, "Hey, this is what needs to be fixed." But, the programmers are probably working on their own things. So, there's always room for improvement.

Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The overall ease of use and management of the solution using the Infrascale Dashboard is very good. We haven't had any issues. It is easy to learn. Most of our techs who deal with backups are usually up and running with the dashboard within a day or so. They don't have a lot of buried features where you have to dig through things to get to the resolution. It is pretty self-explanatory."
"The initial setup was straightforward and we received support from the manufacturer."
"Its Critical Server Insurance feature for protecting physical and virtual servers, including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V is mandatory for me and it makes me happy. If I had a backup solution that didn't do that, it would not be a backup solution and would not be any good."
"For this particular client, the solution’s Critical Server Insurance feature that protects physical and virtual servers including Windows, Linux, VMware, and Hyper-V, was a very big factor as well. They have a bunch of physical servers, as well as virtual. The mix is predominantly virtual. They also have some NAS boxes that we back up using Infrascale."
"Get Infrascale and talk to their team. They will support you, and they will make you the happiest customer out there."
"The recovery of data is the most valuable feature. The software backup, which is just a program that gets installed on a server, can back up to the cloud. You can install that on a server or PC, and that will simply back up a user's files and folders. If it is installed on the server, we just back up the relevant data. Recovering that, if there has been a malicious attack on a business or anything like that, has been invaluable in the past. The good features about that are obviously, if the physical hardware has a problem, then we can utilize the appliance, turn on the virtual machine, and carry on running the business while we put the hardware back and correct the issue."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it is simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to boot locally, as well as in Infrascale's cloud. This means that we can either do on-site failover or failover to their cloud."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"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."
 

Cons

"When the product works, there is really nothing to fix, but they can allow different types of backups, such as differential or incremental backups."
"There is room for improvement by making the interface a little more intuitive when navigating to recover flat files or an old server."
"There could be some room for improvement in the on-premises hardware selection. It is hard for them to deploy a lot of different hardware options. Depending on footprint size and overall capabilities, that is where there could be some flexibility in some cases. However, it is not a deal-breaker."
"The only thing I would suggest, and I have talked to my manager about it already, is that they should have a direct backup-to-cloud solution. It should be something that does not require me to do an image backup, and then individual file and folder backups, to be able to restore individual files."
"I'm a little bit disappointed that over the last year and a half, there hasn't been too much contact from them regarding what's going to be new or coming out."
"When you are ordering hardware appliances, they have to be delivered from America. In the past, hard drives on the appliance have been simple SSD drives that are installed. However, they don't have a local supply for the SSD drives in the UK. They have to be exported from the US, arrive, and then I have to go and install them. Then, they will rebuild it from their side of things. However, I could order that same SSD drive online and get it the next day. So, I have to wait days for things to come when I could get the exact same drive the next day in the UK, if I wanted to. That causes a bit of a problem. I don't know how many businesses they have in the UK, but I do think that having to import stuff from the US is a time-consuming problem. If there was a holding in the UK, then we wouldn't have that delay in time."
"Having options to replicate between their data centers, once the data is offsite, would be an improvement that they could make."
"In terms of what I would like to see, it would be to make the solution available across multiple clouds."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I appreciate their pricing. We went for this solution for its pricing."
"The pricing is fair, and they are interested in working with MSPs as part of their market."
"The pricing is pretty good and competitive with the market. The per-terabyte pricing is very competitive compared to the others."
"You get unlimited clients and buy a bucket of space. In addition to the standard fees there were setup fees."
"Pricing of the product could be improved. It definitely makes it a harder sell. They will usually end up getting close to the price we need, but I have to go through everybody to get the price reduced. Their list pricing is significantly higher than that of other solutions."
"The licensing structure was changed some time ago and it's a lot more efficient and the price points are a lot better. They're improving and heading in the right direction."
"Our licensing fees are billed every four months."
"The licensing is based on how much data you have plus what appliances you need."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"This is a very costly solution."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
