Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"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."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"The scalability of VxRail is very good."
"t's a very good solution with multiple options with VxRail series like based on customer requirements whether they're focused on compute, storage, scalability and high performance, etc. Whether a customer you are going to start your IT Infrastructure footprint with a limited budget, you have freedom of choice and non-disruptive expansion in the future, whether in the main data center or branches. Any idea coming in system admins mind to run this setup continuously and keep service 100% 24/7 is possible in this product line. Hyper-converged appliances allow a datacenter in a box approach, with G, E P, Vand P series."
"Valuable features for us are the VDI, UCC, and HCI."
"The compute is good and we have not had any issues with the vSAN."
"It is truly a hyper-converged infrastructure, so everything is there together."
"Its ease of administration is extremely valuable. It allows me to make better use of my time for other tasks instead of maintaining systems through multiple administration consoles."
"The installation process is very quick. When you purchase it, it's up and running without much delay. Adding any additional components is simple, allowing for easy and fast scaling without adding complexity. The centralized management portal makes it easy to manage the entire system."
"Compared with other products, the IT administrator or IT integrator doesn't take much time to get the tool up and running."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"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."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"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."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The version upgrade process should be simplified."
"You have to buy a new server if you want to scale up."
"It would be nice if the update process was shortened and that patching would be simpler."
"At present, VxRail is a hyperconverged state of the art product being installed in a legacy way. We need hyperconverged install teams."
"I would like an easier migration. This way, if a node fails like it did, the data would have been migrated and I would not have had to get up at three in the morning."
"The initial setup was not that easy, it was a medium difficulty level."
"Lacks integration of licenses so that it's an expensive solution."
"The licensing is a bit too costly."
