AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.

The solution can be used for DR testing and allows running an infinite number of full backups
When we consider the backup model of other products like Veeam, their incremental backup just adds to their first full backup. With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements. With my cloud version of Veritas System Recovery, I can have a full backup every month, which is not possible with any other vendors. Other vendors will claim that the original copy is strong enough, but the customers have to ensure that bugs won't cause any problems in the future. However, with Veritas System Recovery, you can run a full backup this month and again run a full backup on the first or thirtieth day of the next month.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"​Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. ​"
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Rubrik's automation has really impacted my operations positively by providing smooth automation for most backup and recovery tasks."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"You can back up the whole image."
"The solution has helped reduce my company's cost by around 50 to 60 percent."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The installation was straightforward."
"With Veritas System Recovery, we have the option to run an infinite number of full backups according to our requirements."
 

Cons

"The open source database needs to be supported."
"One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape."
"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."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"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."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It needs an easier interface."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Veritas System Recovery Manager offers some manager solutions, but there is room for improvement."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
