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.

An easy to maintains solution useful to manage daily backup and the restoration of backup files
I don't see any scope for improvement in the product since it is a well-established solution. My company has not faced any production-related issues with Veritas System Recovery, as it has stayed quite stable in our environment. The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required. The documentation and reporting areas also need to be improved.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers."
"The live mount capability is the most valuable feature in the product because it reduces the complexity and gives us good RTO."
"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."
"ubrik's One-Touch Recovery helps address this. Using backup as a migration tool can also help overcome challenges when moving to a hybrid cloud."
"It has also saved us time managing backups. It's pretty stable. So it sends us a report if something goes wrong, then you get a report. You don't really need to manually monitor this software over time. If something happens, you'll get an error and you'll get an email notification and then address it. We found the product pretty stable if it's configured correctly. So it has reduced management time."
"The tool helps automate system recovery. The solution is most useful in scenarios involving restoration to a different environment. For instance, when migrating from a physical server to a virtual one, the tool facilitates conversion."
"It has a user-friendly interface and configures and integrates nicely with other products."
"Offers good recovery quickly."
"The installation was straightforward."
"You can back up the whole image, not just files and folders, but the image from the server, and you can restore the whole image."
"The best thing about this product is that it's a unified solution and doesn't require the installation of any other solution, whether it's in a virtual environment, or on-prem."
"The solution captures the system state, so when we restore the system, it will be restored to the state it was in at the time of the backup."
"It has a user-friendly interface."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more support for Hyper-V."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"The reporting can be vague, especially when something is failing."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"We faced issues with recovery and restoration."
"This solution needs an easier interface that is more comprehensible. Also, sometimes we have issues with restoring images when we initialize the servers."
"The pricing could be cheaper."
"The tool's deployment could be easier. The deployment itself isn't the issue; rather, the problem lies in configuring policies and testing everything before it's ready. We invest a significant amount of time in preparing for various scenarios. However, we often encounter situations where changes have occurred since our initial preparations. This can render the automation less valuable."
"Lacks the ability to protect the database snapshot."
"For most organizations these days, their main concern is to protect their database and I think Veritas could make some improvements in that regard."
"Veritas System Recovery’s pricing and local support need some improvement."
"The product's integration capabilities are an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"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."
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"My company has to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the solution. There is no need to pay any additional fees apart from the licensing costs attached to the solution."
