Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Rubrik and others in Backup and Recovery."Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"The solution is stable."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Low-maintenance solution with hyperscale feature so it has the ability to utilize the resources for the VMware cluster setup on which Citrix VDA runs."
"We have seen ROI using this solution. It has simplified the work of the staff that we have which allows us to do more work with the same number of people, without having to incrementally grow the staff. The reliability of the product has been exceptional."
"The solution is really stable."
"The initial setup is simple."
"Depending on your architecture type, it's simple to manage and implement VxRail compared to other solutions. That's why most of our customers use it."
"The implementation was quick, we used a checklist and it took approximately one hour."
"The technical support from Dell was very good."
"The most valuable feature for me in this latest release has been the ability to add a compute or storage node. In the previous release, if I wanted to add only the compute mode, I need to buy a full node, including both compute and storage. That is no longer the case; I can upgrade whatever I want one based on my demand."
"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."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"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 dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"My customers want more storage for university databases."
"They're getting better with their one-click upgrade. The success factor is now between 85% to 87% with the latest release. They should just continuously improve on that one-click factor and make it more seamless."
"It might offer better integration with other products."
"Some of the features of the hyperconverged infrastructure could be integrated with external storage. Right now, for example, if I have surveillance going, I need to purchase very cheap storage. So, an integration between the hyperconverged infrastructure and external storage would be good."
"I would like to see more solutions for satellite capabilities where we can put it into smaller locations and still have the redundancy that we have with a larger cluster."
"In the next release, I would like to see our graphical user interface allow us to manage VxRail clusters and everything on a single pane of glass where I can monitor and shut down the server, similar to a VxRail manager."
"The upgrade packages require a lot of bandwidth. This could be reduced for an improved experience."
"You cannot install another operating system such as Microsoft or Hyperflex or Nutanix. We have also had a hardware problem."
