We performed a comparison between BDRSuite and Rubrik 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."You can restore all your data or partial parts of it. You can restore a specific version of the data. It has a lot of options for restore, so you can have the correct data that you want to restore. This is very important. You must know what you are going to restore. Otherwise, you may be overwriting correct data with other data. You must know what specific files you are restoring as well as which version. Partial restore is very important because there might be some files which are newer than the backup and some files that are corrupted. You need to restore some files from the backup, but not all the files."
"Backup of the VMware server is the most valuable feature."
"The network solution is the most important feature, because we have our own backup server and are doing file backups for our customers."
"The most valuable feature is the Hyper-V backup - it's just one click. I don't have to worry about it."
"The scalability is good. It can scale. Adding a new server to a foreign location is easy."
"The Vembu BDR product is very intuitive and easy to use."
"It was very difficult to find a product that supports Red Hat Virtualization natively and to take a snapshot of the VM or a full backup or a dump from the machine. The option that Vembu proposed, to take the machine as an image, take it from the system, is also good."
"I am able to run Vembu on Windows NAS, which is beneficial. It does install on a Windows-based NAS. You can have the server running from the location where you are storing backups. You don't need a separate server for it in this case."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups."
"Vembu will tell you the next scheduled backup, but it doesn't show you the last successful backup. I would have them include a column under "List of Backup Jobs" and have two other columns which say, "Last Successful Backup" and "Next Scheduled Backup", because you don't know now if it's backed up successfully. It just says, "The next scheduled time is this." You don't know from looking at that pane of glass when the last time it actually happened without digging further into reports."
"There are bugs. For one month, I encountered a big issue where my storage pool could not be identified. My backups were stopped because they were not able to locate the storage pool. So, I removed the settings and started the backups again. The application is not stable. It needs some debugging and testing on the build side of production."
"One thing that I reported with the backups: When there are accentuated characters in a path, then we can't restore documents into a folder. There is a bug with the restoration and restoring files with accentuated characters in the path. Hopefully, they have repaired this because otherwise we will restore files and find out that they are not there."
"Scheduling backups is challenging due to the poor quality of the UI."
"The product is co-branded, not white-labeled."
"The support is a bit slow in resolving an issue. It takes a long time to recover."
"The only place where I would really want to see improvement, out the gate, is more granular scheduling... If I want to do an offset or to only do two backups on Friday and Saturday - versus whole hourly incrementals during the week - I don't have that granularity right now."
"I would like to have a different set of products instead of having a single software which does everything."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"Rubrik needs to continue to listen to their customers and what they want/need, not just care about money and the bottom line."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
