We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veritas NetBackup based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"There's a very nice central console for the administration of all of the instances."
"It is pretty stable. We have one dedicated technician that is taking care of all the data protect. Typically, we have an issue once a month, if that. Or once every two months."
"If you are running on a legacy tape environment NetBackup is best."
"They are among the top in the world for backup and recovery."
"Includes snapshots and multiple database agents."
"Unauthorized people cannot log in and execute commands."
"The main features of this solution are deduplication, compression, ease of use, simplistic user interface, and compatibility with all the backup service systems."
"Backup and recovery software with great stability, and can support large-scale environments."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built. The reporting functionality could definitely be a little bit more customizable from an administration perspective, with an easier to understand interface."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"In regards to protecting the physical servers with parameters, it's a long and difficult process."
"The most common problem is the backup failures over the weekend. We have to troubleshoot and sometimes do restores and then we have trouble doing some of the restores."
"The pricing is a bit of a concern. If could be lower."
"Maybe they could add more cloud solutions."
"The pricing could be improved, and the interface could be more intuitive."
"We would like the Java console to be updated."
"The solution costs too much."
"The security and performance could improve with Veritas NetBackup. The security could be improved by protecting the data from attackers."
