We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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."Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"ubrik's One-Touch Recovery helps address this. Using backup as a migration tool can also help overcome challenges when moving to a hybrid cloud."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"The NetBackup appliance features customized software that is designed for storage."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"I personally find Veritas NetBackup Applicance hassle-free."
"The reporting is very good compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is that it can be used in many different kinds of systems."
"They are a large company with good best practices, and they give good support."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance is a total backup solution. We don't have to buy other applications to do it."
"The solution is very stable...The solution is very scalable."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"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."
"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 could be better integrated with other platforms."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs to improve its security. It needs to ensure that it is 100 percent protected against cyberattacks."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance could improve the configuration, it could be more user-friendly."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"I would like the ability to recover a single folder within the backup of a virtual machine."
"The price needs to be improved because it is really expensive."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"We had some problems with the backup of the physical server."
