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."What I like about Rubrik is that you can back up to the cloud. It is a different kind of backup where you're not archiving the tape. Rubrik is a physical appliance. It is a dedicated appliance to which you can back up, and you can also back up to another device. So, you can back up to Rubrik and then to another device. If you have more than one site, you can set up Rubrik on site A and also on site B. You can back up to the Rubrik on site A and then replicate that data to the Rubrik on site B."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"The most valuable feature is application availability, which allows us to monitor all agents and accounts."
"I love Veeam because it is very easy to work with."
"The most valuable feature is that it's a VMware environment."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and stability of the product."
"This is a good product with a simple environment."
"Veeam is very useful for the Hyper-V environment."
"Veeam is very user-friendly and intuitive software."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"They should improve the solution's automation features."
"I would like to have more flexibility in terms of reporting details about the backup."
"The solution's compression ratio and high speed for backing up can always improve. Aspects that need improvement are less time, better quality, higher security, and more compression. These are continuous requirements for any customer."
"Some customers have Oracle databases and Veeam does support back up of Oracle databases."
"The stability of this solution needs to be improved."
"Troubleshooting is very hard."
"I would like to see the capability for remote installation of third party applications added( Like installing WinRar MS Office etc..) , and Firewall for servers."
"There are not many options available for AIX backup. They provide the agent for AIX, but it could be more mature."
