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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In terms of Rubrik Go's most valuable features, their VM features are good."
"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."
"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."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"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."
"This solution is very simple and easy to use, and it is easy to implement, but I would like more enhancements and features to be added."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"The ease of use is great and the integrations with the storage vendors are useful, with snapshot capabilities and similar features, and the setup was straightforward, making it a stable solution with great scalability."
"Overall, the solution is okay, the way the system is built is very good, the product offers good stability, the solution is scalable, we have found the technical support to be helpful, and the pricing of the solution is very reasonable and not expensive."
"The product is very stable and performs exceptionally well."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"It is a perfect, mature product."
"We have seen an ROI, we have been saved from incidents by this solution many times, we've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected."
 

Cons

"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"There should be an option to generate reports in PDF format, rather than only in Excel or CSV format."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"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."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"Microsoft currently saves only two months of conversation history, and it would be better if Veeam could focus on backing up more than two months of conversation data."
"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."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
"It would be a great improvement to be able to recover cover a VM straight to on-prem."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"In future updates of Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365, I would like to see mail archiving functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"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."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"The cost is a bit on the high side."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
