Using the app is straightforward with easy buttons to click on.
Customer Service: We didn't contact their customer service at any point because the backup and recovery process is pretty straightforward. But they have a customer support email and phone just in case. Technical Support: CloudAlly can be used by a non-techie person because it's simple. We didn't contact the technical support, but it's available for any user who may encounter a problem.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Definitely an impressive ROI because the app is inexpensive and saves us time, headaches plus slow computer devices that could be jammed with huge data."
"CloudAlly provides a unique solution for every major email application."
"The user-friendly interface of CloudAlly significantly enhances data protection."
"With this solution, its remarkable to see that ease of use means ease of use."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Since switching to Rubrik, our backup times have decreased significantly, going from two and a half days to one and a half hours for certain systems."
"I think Rubrik is a very good backup solution; it works well, is pretty reliable, stable, and easy to use, and I don't see any negatives in Rubrik, only positives."
"​Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. ​"
"Rubrik's customer service is excellent."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"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."
"It has a ​single pane of glass interface."
 

Cons

"CloudAlly can improve in the areas of reporting, especially regarding backup statistics and backup failures presented in pie graphs and charts."
"I would improve the cost part of Rubrik; they should improve in that area."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"For Rubrik, though it does a great job, it needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
