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.

Veeam Backup for AWS has positively impacted my organization by solving the challenges of managing backup in complex AWS environments. Its features such as data deduplication and compression offered at a good price are very cost-effective. Backups are also very powerful and easy when using Veeam Backup for AWS software. Since using Veeam Backup for AWS, I have seen specific outcomes such as reduced downtime and data loss by 80% from 60%, along with compliance and risk mitigation and cost savings since it is very easy and cost-effective.
