Immutable protection has secured critical workloads and delivers strong automated recovery options
I think immutable protection is the most valuable feature; that is something the customer will resonate with. I think AI-powered insights for predictive analytics is an attractive topic because people like to learn more about it, but I do not think right now people are ready to spend money on just these features. I think it is an add-on that customers appreciate, but it is not a special or separate topic that the customer will prioritize. I think Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks is a good topic to discuss with customers right now, but I do not think at the moment it would be a separate initiative that the customer already has a budget for. I think Rubrik Go is effective in enabling workload recovery and provisioning, but it has yet to be proven with our customer implementation.

Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight 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 most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The most valuable feature with Rubrik is that 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."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"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."
"Clients find the cost very good and enjoy the large cloud compatibility."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"Rubrik Go is both very scalable and stable."
"It's good for file services."

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Technical support isn't that good, especially if you compare it to a competitor like EMC."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
"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."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."

"The solution is reasonably priced."

"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."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
