Streamlined data management reduces workload and costs significantly for the team
We are planning to use Rubrik Go's AI-powered insights for predictive analytics, but have not implemented this yet. I cannot provide updates on Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks because I have not used that feature yet. Rubrik Go's integration capabilities with cloud providers have benefited my multi-cloud environment significantly. Rubrik Go's subscription model has helped me align my data protection investments, which is a good option as I am one of the customers who have deployed this subscription option. I am definitely satisfied with the licensing model as it is very simplified and easy to understand. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Rubrik Go a 9.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I am from Perú, and IT departments are not very advanced here; basically, it is way better than whatever we are used to using, tapes, etc."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"It is a scalable solution."
"What I like best about Acronis Backup Cloud is the active protection feature that helps you protect your workload from ransomware attacks."
"The agent, which is installed on the system, can do Quality of Service."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"One of the best benefits of using Acronis is that it also provides data security along with the backup of data. It checks everything, and that's the main benefit of using Acronis"
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
 

Cons

"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"User interface improvements: I think this needs to be done in the navigation path into the UIs, mainly for the reseller interfaces."
"The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"The solution should increase its security features."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is good value for money."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"

"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."

"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
