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."You can store backups for a while."
"The solution is very easy to use and it offers great support."
"The most valuable feature is the portability of large archived data. You're able to put things on large on-prem, low-cost storage and then augment that with even lower cost storage in the cloud."
"Its initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is easy to use and integrate with whichever operating systems you use, providing you with a complete view, especially when you plan to migrate to some other operating system."
"Most importantly is having that island into that datacenter, and being able to address things in the same console. Thus, it is irrelevant where it's stored."
"It's so easy to work with."
"The flexibility. Being able to virtualize it, port it wherever I like, test my backups, test my DR capabilities whenever I like without impacting anybody."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The search functionality is second to none as the speed of the search is fast across the whole system and predictive."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"NetApp's own competing products complicate things."
"There are some bits it could do better. With tighter integration maybe with Veeam, or something like that, it'd be really good."
"What could be helpful is different user base authentication so then maybe we could allow different customers to point to a single appliance and they only see the backups and things that they have."
"It's a good product, but it's becoming outdated and moving to their other primary architecture."
"The initial setup phase of the tool was difficult."
"I would like to see more web support."
"More capacity with the basic model of the AltaVault would probably help out."
"The solution needs faster indexing."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
