"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"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."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The technical support is excellent. It's one of the best I've met so far."
"Its portability and being able to back up between different platforms are the most valuable features."
"I consider the solution's technical support to be excellent, perfect."
"Veeam Backup Replication's most valuable features are the ease of use and the interface is very configurable for the users. It's a very familiar solution in Algeria."
"Replication and restore object in Exchange boxes with possibility to select part of Microsoft directory."
"I like that the solution is very simple to install."
"It serves its intended purpose and it works well."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"It is an expensive product."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Its cost is high."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The pricing could be improved."
"We struggled to stabilize the application. We had an incident which resulted in a loss of data and have terminated this solution due to lack of support from the Veeam team."
"think backing up from physical servers and ransomware security needs some improvements."
"The price can be better."
"The user interface needs to be improved. It could be simpler to use."
"If a single file is corrupt then the restoration of the entire backup will fail."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"They need a better solution for backend storage."

I would choose Untrends all day long as it provides fully automated DR testing so when you need to recover from an incident you select the most recent validated copy in minutes.
The appliances (Physical, or Virtual where you have the storage and compute already) index blocks locally so there is less to pull back down from the cloud reducing data repatriation costs and they are the only single vendor solution that is fully integrated and 100% compatible with single-pane management for backup, DR/BC (replication and archiving), for M365, Google Workspace, AWS/Azure Workloads, DTC for home workers.
