We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Unitrends 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."CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"VM backup is much faster and more reliable, as I can test my backups with Data Copy Access jobs."
"It is very easy to set up and get started. Almost too easy. We racked this device and had it up and running in less than 15 minutes."
"The backup feature and recovery option are good because they allow the instant recovery of Hyper-V nodes and files."
"Unitrends has helped us cut down the time that it takes to restore a server to its original configuration."
"I am impressed with the tool's reporting and UniView features."
"Being an appliance-based solution, we were able to migrate backup solutions without having to purchase a lot of hardware separately."
"It's not easy to scale it."
"They have great support."
"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."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"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."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"Its cost is high."
"I would like to see the real-time replication process improved, and a zero RPO feature added."
"There are a few quirks where the GUI, agent, and back-end are not precisely meshed."
"In terms of improvement, the UI, especially in the recovery section, is unclear about which repository it uses."
"Making the seeding process more accessible and easier to understand. Also, make more of the undocumented best practices easier to find."
"There's a lot that can be made better. For example, it could be more scalable."
"Follow up for the DRaaS service setup. I'm still waiting to schedule a DRaaS test after upgrading several months ago."
"Probably the biggest issue I've had is actually paying for the unit, and part of that problem is that they use a third party for the billing."
"No appliance update notifications."
