We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Unitrends 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."The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. "
"The solution is stable."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"The ability to back up both physical and virtual appliances under one roof."
"It is a quick and easy way to organize my backups and to keep track of them."
"If you are a large organization, this is a product for you."
"I like the fact that you can recover the VMs inside the appliance. For example, they're basically running this appliance on a Linux-based distribution, and they're spinning off KVM virtual machines inside."
"Iinstant recovery (allows a spin-up of your image as a VM on the appliance)."
"What I found most valuable in Unitrends is its simple user interface. It also works reliably."
"The simple and fast restore routine."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"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."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"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."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"User interface could be improved."
"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."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"I would like to see more storage options for the free version."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"The ability to run just differentials without pulling the full on your archive."
"The solution’s support and onboarding process needs to be improved."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Techs don't see to be well-versed in troubleshooting issues that arise and tickets stay opened for weeks for resolution."
"There are some questions as to how safely they are storing backup data."
"Network-based storage stability could be improved."
