We performed a comparison between Rubrik and Veritas NetBackup Appliance 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."The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"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 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."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"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."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"The documentation is okay. You are able to follow it and it is helpful."
"The policy-based backup feature is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature is that the backup and restoring process is very fast."
"The solution has a very easy-to-navigate user interface."
"Veritas NetBackup Appliance's most valuable feature is information backup."
"NetBackup is based on really good architectural hardware, and Veritas has the best backup and replication technology in the world."
"The solution is useful for backups."
"The standout feature is its connectivity and robust support. They are easily easy to get hold of, making it convenient for us."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"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."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"Sometimes, the user interface doesn't work smoothly."
"It is not easy because I have worked a lot on the tool, and in case it gets corrupted at any point, it is not easy to restore the data without losing information is not easy."
"The tool's pricing is expensive and could be lower."
"It could be better integrated with other platforms."
"The scalability could be improved."
"Veritas NetBackup would benefit from better explained error codes."
"It would be a better solution if we were able to make more reports in regards to the backup system."
"The challenge arose due to a space issue. The issue was related to disk breaks, especially when power cuts occurred. One of the disks would break, leading to a loss of functionality."
