We performed a comparison between Microsoft DPM and Rubrik based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Backup and Recovery solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its capability to give a BMR for all the workstations that I want to connect to."
"The solution backs up Microsoft workloads as well as anything on the market."
"Microsoft DPM is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the recovery."
"The automated procedure is quite good for us, as it is able to capture all of the information that we require."
"I could back up all the stuff we had, even the VMs we have for Hyper V."
"The user interface is very good. The reporting and monitoring features are also good."
"The most important feature is that it's easy to use."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"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 data tagging feature needs improvement. The solution could be a bit more intuitive in certain aspects."
"There is a very poor online user community in terms of people blogging about their experiences with DPM."
"You have only a few settings and if you change them for some special configurations, it's very difficult."
"To evaluate the solution's abilities and its performance under demanding conditions, it is recommended to carry out a stress test."
"Microsoft DPM could improve if it was available in a public or private cloud."
"The user interface can be improved quite a bit."
"We can't take a snapshot and take it outside, which is a problem."
"Management reporting could be improved."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"There is room for improvement through a further extension of their Office 365 backup platform. In addition, it's still a bit cost-prohibitive to backup NAS. Those would be the two primary areas for improvement."
"Two areas I would like to see improvement in Rubrik are pricing and localization."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"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."
