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 ability to test the backups without having to manually mount the VHDs after restore allows us to check the integrity of the backups."
"The CDP backup feature is very nice, as it allows you to take backups at high frequencies and with application consistency."
"The ease of use of the solution is its most valuable feature. The interface is also excellent."
"The intuitive interface allows you to set up and perform backups and restores easily."
"This solution is stable."
"VM backup and the item level recovery are the most valuable features."
"The initial setup was simple and easy. Anyone without prior experience can install, configure, and use it."
"Ability to restore to any host."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"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."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"The application could include a feature to install a set size of data, such as the ability to store a single application with all its registry information for easy transfer."
"Basically, how it works is that you have a single local drive, and then you have a cloud backup. It'd be nice if you could rotate the single local backup drive. As of now, you can't."
"Backup speed and comparisons between versions used to be slow on big VMs but that was improved greatly later on."
"It would be nice to see a feature that backs up the host so that, in case of a server failure, an entire server could be restored all at once."
"The cloud backup and VMware support (now available in the latest releases), could do with some improvement."
"To improve Altaro, I would like to see the ability to choose more than one backup location at a time."
"It would be nice to be able to recover the items to their original location."
"Availability of physical server backup would be an added advantage."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
