"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."

"The most valuable feature is the capability to back up not only to the cloud but also to your local environment so a copy of your data can be kept on-prem."
"The scalability is good."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"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 functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."

"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"It needs to be able to integrate with other emailing systems, like Linux."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 can improve by adding more features with Microsoft teams. We have many files that we are working on with Microsoft teams and there should be more integration and features."
"We would like to have a single management console for all of our backups."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
"They could include WAN acceleration to compress the traffic to make things faster."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"While there really is nothing wrong with the product some small improvements in the interface could make it even easier to use."
"It requires quite an amount of infrastructure. You have to set up the instance, and you need to know quite a bit about Microsoft 365 authentication. For some customers, it is a challenge."
