The prerequisite dependencies with the cost team site, infrastructure, port opening, and adding the complete Rubrik console module take time, depending on the volume of servers and storage occupancy.
 

Room For Improvement

NetVault Plus requires improved restore speed, user interface, compatibility, scheduling, security, database support, performance, and development interaction.
Rubrik needs UI improvements, cost efficiency, better integration, enhanced security, multi-tenant support, and more comprehensive backup options.
Improvements should come, particularly in compatibility, backup performance, or better troubleshooting.
There is also a need for better security measures, as security is critical to ensure backups are safe and free from malware.
NetVault Plus doesn't have a support team in my country; having a local contact in Turkey would be very useful for us.
I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics.
The remainder still needs improvement, particularly in providing technical support.
We need more efficient search capabilities that allow searching by last name or login ID.

The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business.

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.
The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks.

Featured Reviews

Cahit Yolacan - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported reliable file backup operations and maintained compliance with local data policies
The strong point for me is the tape record feature. The backup and recovery capabilities of NetVault Plus are very important for maintaining my business. There's no positive impact that NetVault Plus has brought to my company; I mean, there's no particular benefit I have seen from using it. It's just used in general, and another colleague specifically selected NetVault Plus without any problem in Turkey area; everything is good enough for me. But specifically, with NetVault Plus, I don't see any impact.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.
