We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows [EOL] based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Commvault, Zerto and others in Cloud Backup."The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"CloudOn allows for backed up virtual machines stored offsite in Azure to be instantiated as an Azure virtual machine and spun up."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The interface of this solution is quite good."
"The solution is useful for taking backups for end-user laptops and end-user workstations where data is involved."
"User-friendly data backup and protection solution for a Windows environment. The Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is very scalable, stable, and has good compatibility and integration."
"This is a reliable system that supports Veeam backup and recovery for Windows."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"To do the actual backup configuration is also not too bad."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"There isn't really anything I would like to improve. Maybe the solution could be more secure."
"There should be an option to use the solution for physical machines."
"The support could be improved a lot, as it is currently non-existent."
"In the next release, I would like to see it easier to implement."
"There really are no cons. The product simply has to maintain development to keep up with changes in the operating system."
"It is not always easy to update this solution to the newer version, so the update process needs to be improved."
"I can't think of anything that may be missing."
"I would like to have a more automated installation process."
