Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery.
"Backups are working smoothly with Nakivo Backup."
"The product is good for protecting very low-budget offices, whereas other solutions fail in terms of cost and footprint of the VMs involved."
"Backup jobs are running smoothly every day with job reports sent to email after they finish each job. That gives us peace of mind."
"Nakivo Backup and Replication's web-based management interface enables intuitive, rapid, and seamless configuration and management of all backup and recovery functionality across the enterprise."
"NAKIVO Backup & Replication is very easy to use."
"It is easy to set up using the included virtual appliance and also includes agents for most NAS systems."
"The backup for physical machines and replication for the virtual environment are the most valuable aspects."
"The virtual appliance for VMware vSphere is easy to deploy, easy to manage, and we have no need for additional Windows licenses."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"The solution is easy to learn."
"Deduplication is quite efficient. It is not a complex product. It is quite simple."
"I have found it to be the simplest solution to the market. It gives us a complete end to end solution. We are using this solution, Veritas Appliance and another one for access archiving. It is convenient to have all the support from one vendor."
"It's a good product, it does what we want it to do."
"The client side deduplication reduces the backup window."
"It has been around for so long, and it is very in-depth. It has a solution for everything that you can cover."
"The features are good."
"The backup and restore features are helpful."
"What must be improved is the response time to technical support requests."
"It would be a good thing to have some use case and architecture examples online to understand integration in complex infrastructure."
"They need a better knowledge base with more information about support issues."
"It would be good if I could have a remote upgrade of our Synology Transporters, but the manual upgrade is easy and no problem at all."
"We'd like to see more cooperation with Synology. It can be enhanced to get updates published faster to Synology's store."
"Log and report creation can be improved."
"We want the backup job to consume fewer resources, as the utilization is very high if we choose the best compression."
"One complaint I have is the dashboard flashing as it reloads/refreshes itself. The program was not always like that and it happened after an update at some point."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"The ability to use different disk appliance brands as Pure Disk (not OST), such as EMC Data Domain ."
"We faced so many backup configuration issues. And from the Veritas side, they couldn't fix that issue. So we started from scratch, purchased everything, and then we configured everything. Therefore, the support could be better."
"The solution could improve by having a feature to backup iSeries workloads."
"The flip side about NetBackup is that it is not policy-based."
"I do not really like NetBackup as it is coming from a mix of other software packages."
"Technical support is somewhat slow and is in need of improvement."
"The database integration could be better."
"It gets a lot of new features, but improvements in basic functionality are often sacrificed for a shiny new bullet point to put on sales presentations."
