Sales Manager at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Self-service integration enhances data protection and control over automated backups, offering robust restoration quality
The product is highly recommended for my enterprise customers due to its quality. The score for the product is between eight and ten, based on satisfaction levels. My clients are satisfied, but AvePoint Cloud Backup is costlier for smaller or medium-sized enterprises. Commercial discussions can be challenging on that front. I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10.

Technical Architect at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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

"The recovery options in Microsoft 365 are not adequate and it does not help to recover data from the recycle bin that is older than 90 days. The solution has made us more efficient and helps to recover data that is older than 90 days."
"The backup and recovery functionalities of the product are very useful."
"The SaaS feature of AvePoint Cloud Backup is very strong."
"The most promising feature of the product is data security policies, which make it simpler to include compliance processes."
"I rate the overall solution a 9 out of 10."
"The most valuable features are the email backup and the SharePoint backup."
"It is the only product in the market that offers platform backup."
"The product's initial setup phase was super easy."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"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."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"I think Rubrik Go is pretty good overall."
 

Cons

"It is not a traditional restore process and it is somewhat limited in what we can do."
"It is challenging for small or medium-sized businesses to purchase it."
"The component in the product that can be improved revolves around the area where the tool should focus on providing more of a custom touch to the policies."
"It would be beneficial to have a more optimal Google Backup for larger environments."
"AvePoint Cloud Backup's pricing could be lower and more flexible. Particularly, when dealing with smaller customers or more minor businesses, obtaining competitive pricing for bundles rather than on a one-by-one basis remains challenging."
"For improvement, AvePoint can provide details on how the tool's backup scope works."
"The configuration could be made easier."
"The restoration could be faster."
"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."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"The tool's pricing 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're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very good for many of my customers in the banking and finance segments. The price isn't a problem there, but in some other industries, people ask for a cheaper solution. When the price is an issue for the customer, we recommend Veeam, Metallic."
"I am not sure, but I believe that the cost is $7 USD per user."
"The pricing part of the solution is based on a subscription model, which is based on the number of users or storage capacity."
"It costs a little bit more than other competitors in the market."
"I rate the product's price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The platform is more expensive than other vendors."
"I would say that the pricing policy of the product is flexible and good."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
