We performed a comparison between Rubrik and VxRail based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Veeam Software, Zerto, Commvault and others in Backup and Recovery."Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production"
"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"VxRail's feature that we found most valuable was its really good performance. That was one of VxRail's advantages."
"The most valuable feature is that it is VMware-embedded. VxRail HCI is on VMware, and we can use VMware vCenter and vSphere. Our infrastructure consists of servers and VMware, and by using VxRail, our experience and familiarity have not changed because VxRail HCI is on VMware."
"I like that there is a dependency on the storage controller."
"We deploy VxRail systems to provide our customers with a distributed information solution. The customer was impressed because we delivered a serious data reduction. For example, we showed them that 10 terabytes on their traditional storage solution could be reduced to 1.5 terabytes in the VxRail systems. That's why the customers also like it so much,"
"The solution is easy to use. When turning on a server or a machine that is required for, deployment or quality assurance, the dynamic deployment of resources is good."
"I can roll out the system in thirty minutes and the customer can work with it."
"There is a single vendor with the hardware, software, and maintenance. Thus, there is a single vendor with whom we can contact."
"It has a valuable deduplication feature."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
"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."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"With Windows, it is difficult to configure Oracle Database."
"The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them."
"VxRail should try to improve the pricing."
"There is a limitation on the number of nodes."
"The product has high pricing. This particular area needs improvement."
"There is limited support for SAP HANA with this solution."
"The price could be better. The backup mechanism could also be better. Some of our clients prefer to work with backup software from a different vendor. They don't do a built-in backup solution. It would be better if they had guidelines on proper sizing and the whole life cycle from the requirement collection. If there aren't any proper guidelines, how do I go to the customer and evaluate their existing infrastructure? How can you do appropriate sizing to migrate to a hyper-converged environment? I think this is a requirement because most of our clients are migrating to a hyper-converged environment. In the next release, they can improve absolutely anything you can think of to improve the product in general—for example, the clusters and backup software."
"It could be improved by having more information on the integration portion of ACI."
"The search feature isn't good."
"When using hybrid nodes, such as VxRail, there should not be compression and deduplication, only in All-Flash nodes."
