Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use
During the current times, solutions must have a backup system from a main server, and an active directory service. Also, it is no longer important to have a backup for different environments, such as databases, application servers, and web servers. However, ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus must get a main server for itself.

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

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"ubrik's One-Touch Recovery helps address this. Using backup as a migration tool can also help overcome challenges when moving to a hybrid cloud."
"Rubrik has automation capabilities that help streamline my workflows."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"Implementing Rubrik has saved us time and money in managing backups, and I estimate that we've saved approximately 80% in terms of time compared to previously."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
 

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"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."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
