Immutable protection has secured critical workloads and delivers strong automated recovery options
I think immutable protection is the most valuable feature; that is something the customer will resonate with. I think AI-powered insights for predictive analytics is an attractive topic because people like to learn more about it, but I do not think right now people are ready to spend money on just these features. I think it is an add-on that customers appreciate, but it is not a special or separate topic that the customer will prioritize. I think Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks is a good topic to discuss with customers right now, but I do not think at the moment it would be a separate initiative that the customer already has a budget for. I think Rubrik Go is effective in enabling workload recovery and provisioning, but it has yet to be proven with our customer implementation.

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

"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"Clients find the cost very good and enjoy the large cloud compatibility."
"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."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"In terms of stability, the product is good."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"Deploying Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 was very easy. I did the installation by myself, without any help. I spent one day on the installation of the product, and all weeks are working normally."
"The solution is easy to use. It's very simple and clients find it very easy to find all objects and things they need with the Veeam Explorer."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"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 pricing is reasonable."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup an eight out of ten, with ten being easy."
"We have seen an ROI, we have been saved from incidents by this solution many times, we've avoided corruption of data, and we are not losing time thinking about how data could be protected."
"Veeam does not really have competition in the Office 365 Backup space, which made the decision a slam dunk for me because it was the one product that solved the issue and it works."
 

Cons

"The tool's pricing needs to 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."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Rubrik Go could improve on the Kubernetes side; they should have more features for Kubernetes backup and orchestration."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"Veaam Backup can be confusing for customers when they start trying to understand how to use the product in multiple environments."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"They need to enable the encryption of backups so that nobody can gain access unless they have encryption details."
"A while back, I had some trouble using the agent. It might be a problem with older versions. Sometimes, I also have issues installing or making backups from the console to that type of operating system."
"If Veeam could offer backup as a service for data backup and recovery, that would be great. We'd like something like what Druva is offering at the moment."
"We have some issues with backing up the on-premises infrastructure, but that is something we will resolve with their technical department and customer support."
"Some additional training materials would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"This is a very costly solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Its price is a little bit high, but it is a fantastic solution. It is more expensive than NetApp."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
"It is strictly subscribed on a per-user basis."
"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."
"The solution is not expensive."
"The solution is very, very, very, cheap."
"The cost of Veeam Backup is $28 per user for one year."
