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.

Backup has protected our office data and now restores individual emails while admins configure settings
Although Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is a Backup as a Service, it should give slight leverage to the admins to do more of their own configurations. When it comes to Software as a Service, we do need to agree on certain things, as we do not have much control over the software. If Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 can improve, it would be better. It could be slightly better, but it is acceptable. As long as support is provided in a timely manner, it is good. I cannot tell it is fully bad or fully good. If I were to give a rating of one to five, I might give 3.5 to four. Rather than giving a help database, which is an ocean of information to search through ourselves, we should be able to open a ticket and have them guide us on how to do it. As an end-user, different levels of admins exist—a fresh admin and a more experienced admin. They need to encourage us to open a ticket quickly, and from there they should guide us straightforwardly with the steps to follow to achieve the desired outcome.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"In terms of Rubrik Go's most valuable features, their VM features are 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."
"Clients find the cost very good and enjoy the large cloud compatibility."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"Rubrik Go is both very scalable and stable."
"I have used the technical support a few times and they've been reasonably helpful."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
"Veeam makes modular solutions, so you can install Veeam Backup for Office 365 and Veeam Backup and Replication in one single server. You can do an all in one installation, and roll it out."
"The most valuable feature of Veeam Backup for Office 365 is its performance. Additionally, the user interface and documentation are easy to use and navigate."
"Veaam Backup has recently added MS Teams to the programs they cover, which was a big improvement."
"It works well for our backup needs, and I would recommend it for Microsoft 365 due to its reliability."
"It's user-friendly, especially for taking incremental backups."
"Veeam Backup for Office 365 has good security, and I also like the process they use for backups."
 

Cons

"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"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."
"One of the issues with the product is that you cannot postpone a specific backup job. If you try to do that, every backup job is paused."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Technical support isn't that good, especially if you compare it to a competitor like EMC."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"If clients are backing up onto tape, Veeam's newest versions don't really deal with that."
"I think the pricing model is wrong."
"The integration and the coverage of all the features related to the protection of Teams could be improved."
"This solution would be improved if our customers could simplify their graphic user interface and for it to be more user-friendly."
"The pricing model is unnecessarily confusing and could be simplified."
"We tried to use Veeam for our DRP. It was complicated to use and did not help us with our DRP needs due to our internet connectivity at that time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"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."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"This is a very costly solution."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 is expensive, and I rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"We looked at a few cloud options. When we did the comparison, we found it to be a cost-effective solution, and it included everything."
"Its cost is pretty high. I would rate it a three out of five in terms of pricing."
