We performed a comparison between Rubrik and VMware SRM based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Disaster Recovery (DR) Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"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."
"VMware SRM is very effective between two sites with identical twin storage, you can have synchronization between the two sites."
"It's very reliable. The solution is stable."
"I would rate the ease of setting up and configuring my recovery plan in VMware SRM, a ten out of ten, with ten being the easiest."
"It eliminates the need for complex compliance requirements, making it a highly effective solution."
"The solution helps to improve business continuity processes. Its automatic failover and failback policies have been wonderful."
"Testing failover capabilities."
"It is a stable solution...The solution's technical support is excellent."
"The solution is very flexible."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"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."
"VMware SRM needs to improve its pricing."
"The solution must provide better integration with third-party vendors."
"The administration guides can be complicated and difficult to use, so it would be helpful if it was made easier."
"The interface is not easy to use and can be made more user-friendly."
"It would be good if this solution could integrate configuration management software such as Chef Infra."
"They could enhance the automation features for the product."
"The user experience could be more friendly."
"It would be better if we could get more reporting features in VMware SRM."
