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.

Cloud backups have secured critical data and have enabled fast recovery from ransomware threats
I do utilize the automated policy-driven operations with Veritas Alta Data Protection. They have helped in reducing manual workloads because manual intervention is required to handle errors or backup job failures when trying to back up a particular AWS account where critical resources are deployed. Discovery takes a lot of time because we are backing up data already in the S3 buckets. We often face challenges with resource discovery because discovery does not happen once a month; it happens daily. Every day, the discovery job runs before backing up resources. We may encounter issues in discovery or related to permissions, meaning if we have backup permissions on a bucket but further intensive permissions are present on any particular file, the Veritas Alta Data Protection job will skip that file. At times, backup fails with one or another error, and manual intervention is definitely needed. It is predominantly automated and policy-driven, but manual intervention is also required sometimes. We tested the effectiveness of Veritas Alta Data Protection's granular restoration feature during POC because we had a requirement to test various scenarios like restoring the bucket in a particular region, restoring the bucket in a different region, restoring EC2 instances, restoring containers, and databases. One more crucial feature for us in selecting Veritas Alta Data Protection is having replication between Veritas Alta Data Protection clusters. Once the primary backup job is complete, Veritas Alta Data Protection runs an SLP job, which is a storage lifecycle policy. This SLP job moves or replicates the data from one Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster to another. If the Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster goes down, the data is still replicated to the other Veritas Alta Data Protection cluster.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The main benefit is that we are secured in terms of workloads. We know that if we need to restore any VMs, or even any files inside a VM, that we will succeed 100 percent. This means that we don't need to spend much time administering the backup environment because we know it is self-healing and efficient. So, we are spending that time on something else, which is always a plus."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"It is easy to deploy."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable."
"Veritas Alta Data Protection is an industry leader, and I am quite impressed by the leadership that they have in this segment."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
"Regarding cost-effectiveness and return on investment, we have seen benefits in the form of saving time and resources."
 

Cons

"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"Since Veritas Alta Data Protection recently entered the market, it does have limited technical resources for support."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
"I hope we will be able to use Veritas Alta Data Protection in a very user-friendly manner, which is what I am expecting from Veritas features."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"Its price tends to go up with time. Its pricing definitely has room for improvement. If you negotiate right with them, you might get a good price. Support is a part of the package, and every three years, when we renew our contract, we get new hardware."
"Rubrik's support is definitely on the expensive side, but I consider it to be top of the line. We incur no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
