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.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings

Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."

"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."

"This is a very costly solution."

"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."

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."

"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."

"The pricing is expensive."

"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."

"The licensing price is quite high. It's expensive."

"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."

"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."

"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."

"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
