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

"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"I think Rubrik Go is pretty good overall."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a hyper-converged backup appliance with everything in one box and has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"In terms of Rubrik Go's most valuable features, their VM features are good."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of Veeam is its stability."
"When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"The most valuable features of Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 are its intuitive interface, ease of use, and unlimited capacity for backup and restore."
"I am very happy with Veeam's support; they are good and very responsive."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"We have backups for Microsoft 365 because it is in the account of the complete tenant compromise. If we lose access to a tenant or all of the client's data gets Microsoft 365, and they lose access to all of their emails, OneDrive, and Teams data, then at least we have an off-site copy that is not linked to their Microsoft side of things."
"At the moment I think we have all we need for backing up our Office 365 emails reliably, we have a solid solution with this product so I don't see any reason it would have to change."
 

Cons

"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"One of the issues with the product is that you cannot postpone a specific backup job. If you try to do that, every backup job is paused."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"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."
"The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it."
"When you are working in the Cloud security is very important."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"I'm very satisfied with Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and would continue using it if it were up to me. However, my management is considering alternative solutions due to issues with our storage solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"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."
"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."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a subscription-based solution."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 is a low-priced solution, so it is scalable and is priced for the market, comparable to other solutions."
"The cost of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is $19 for one mailbox."
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
