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."I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"In the global business world, Veritas has a very good name. I think they have a good solid product, and they are always trying to improve it, and update it. ;They know what the client actually needs, and they are up to the challenge of satisfying those needs."
"Its reliability and the fact that we have all the skills that we need for Veritas Backup Exec are the most valuable."
"We have never had any problem with storage and backups. It works very well and is a user-friendly solution."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Veritas is good for small environments."
"The usability and interface of the solution are good."
"This solution is not complex and you do not have to be too technical to use it."
"Veritas is simple and easy to deploy. In terms of the presentation and UI, they do their job well."
"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."
"I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"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."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"Currently, the solution does not have the capability to restore a single mailbox, so you lose a lot of time having to restore for example ten mailboxes just to recover one."
"A web console would be great because nowadays a lot of products are web-based and you can access the console from various environments. So I would recommend bringing this feature in the next solution."
"In the future, their console should not be complicated."
"The licensing packet is confusing. If Veritas could do a better job of clarifying it, that would be helpful."
"I would like to improve their ability to back up the cloud environment. Additionally, it would be nice to have simpler UI."
"This solution does not support image-level backup of a physical server."
"The pricing of the solution is a bit high."
"The solution lacked local support, which became an issue for us and our customers. They needed to have more presence on the ground."
