It took significantly longer to set up the solution with Huawei compared to other options. But when creating servers for VMware virtualization in one data center, it was a relatively quick process. The Huawei's solution, even with the assistance of an engineer, took more than one month, possibly extending to two months. Chinese engineers were involved in the process, which contributed to the delays.

Backup operations have become faster and secure data protection supports diverse workloads
Rubrik is one of the leading technologies in the market, but we still have legacy technologies such as NetBackup, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, and Dell Avamar. Rubrik probably needs to overtake all of these tools so that it can do well in the market. For example, one roadblock is that sometimes the page hangs. The Rubrik UI, and specifically RSC, gets hung. RSC, which stands for Rubrik Security Cloud, is a centralized tool where we manage all of our backups. Sometimes the user interface hangs, or we have a hard time interacting between the user interfaces within RSC. When this happens, we need to reach out to customer service. That is one of the areas where I ask the Rubrik vendor to improve. Rubrik also needs to ingest more workloads down the line. For example, NetBackup can back up around 120 workloads, and I do not think Rubrik can do that. Rubrik needs to ingest more workloads so that we can back up most of what we need. Customers might come up with something new day to day, and we have many thousands of tools and applications right now that need to be backed up. That is how we can declare any tool an enterprise technology. I do not think Rubrik has fully matured yet. It is only seven, eight, or maybe 10 years old, not 20 or 30 years old. For example, Cohesity did something smart. They recently bought NetBackup, and Cohesity is the biggest competitor of Rubrik. Cohesity bought NetBackup so that it could ingest all of its features and improve its market position. I do not think Rubrik has bought anyone recently, and that is something they need to try in a smart way so that they can have more features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has many options for scalability, and it is stable."
"The storage capacity is really one of the most valuable features. Also, the GUI is very friendly and the switches gives high performance. The technology used in storage is RAID which as helped us a lot to expand and store various items ."
"Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct has improved my organization with secured backups, and even in case of attacks, we are safe with respect to the backup data we have."
"Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct has positively impacted my organization as the holy grail for our county because we basically rely on it every day for off-boarding, on-boarding, accounts being purged, and we are able to bring them back to life, attach old mailboxes to users, detach mailboxes, OneDrive, SharePoint, and basically everything, making it such a winning member of the team."
"Restores are also pretty fast compared to other tools, and they are very simple, requiring just one or two clicks."
 

Cons

"The handling of data deletion and bulk servers setup could have been more straightforward and easier when dealing with data removal or setting up servers. I believe Huawei could enhance their solutions, especially managing storage, to provide a better experience for customers."
"The call charges and the management cost should be more friendly. They can also include monitoring and management."
"In terms of stability, Rubrik NAS Cloud Direct is still not stable as it is evolving, so I would give it a seven or eight."
"The other thing I want to add is that the documentation is kind of vague sometimes."
"Sometimes the user interface hangs, or we have a hard time interacting between the user interfaces within RSC, and sometimes all the workloads disappear from the RSC UI until support brings everything back."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation is expensive as they often come as a comprehensive package. The design is more integrated, and everything is bundled together as part of the solution. This is what contributes to the higher cost of their solutions because when you purchase one element, it often comes with additional features and components, and you end up paying for the entire package."
"It is cheaper than other solutions."
