Reliable automated backups have protected critical databases and simplified recoveries for our operations
Portal identity management should improve. We end up losing people's identity, which was not sufficient enough to read the events. That was the only place I could see for improvement. They keep changing the layouts and descriptions, giving the user confusion if they have not used it for maybe three months. When they come back, the interface is changed. They lost the legacy support, and it is not consistent. Some of the options for the restore give a very hard time for the engineer if they come back after three months to use it because the phrases have changed completely. That is why they were not able to select whether they should select this option or should select another option. Where it comes from, the documentation we gave them does not match anymore. That was a challenge.My consultation part was about how to integrate the technology with each other for the platform or storage or database. I did not deal with any price metrics or scaling the storage. I have no idea about the pricing part. I never joined any meetings or any documents to disclose the pricing. It was quite good in general. Recently, in March 2025, they did a new update which enabled them to update their agents remotely and built in, in-place mode. That is bringing the cybersecurity perspective. That was a big challenge. I said it is a challenge, but I do not know because I left the company, so I am not sure if cybersecurity addressed the solution. Rubrik support is usually very accommodating and very flexible. I am not sure, but the last challenge I saw was that.

Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Rubrik has allowed our Managed Backup product to be elevated from a home-brewed concoction of free backup products wrapped in our special glue to a modern, intelligent, single-pane-of-glass orchestration engine."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"I think the best feature is its masterless architecture."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"Rubrik is a very scalable and high-performing backup restore solution."
"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 application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
 

Cons

"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients, but Rubrik Engineering listens to our feedback and has been delivering the features that we have been asking for over the last year, so we are confident that they will knock those out soon, as well."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is not what it should be. Once you gather logs, deciphering them without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Portal identity management should improve."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated."
"The web interface could benefit from some improvement, particularly in terms of alerting and dashboard clarity. The cloud web interface is somewhat confusing and could use more development attention. Additionally, it's essential to ensure that local on-premise management options remain available alongside cloud-based solutions, as internet availability can affect backup management. Regarding features, cross-hypervisor restore functionality would be a valuable addition, allowing for greater flexibility in restoring VMs across different environments."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built."
"I would improve the cost part of Rubrik; they should improve in that area."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
"The solution is affordable."
