Considered Both Products
MSP360 Backup
Chose MSP360 Backup
Whenever we review other solutions, MSP360 always ends up on top. No special hardware needed, integrates with all of the NAS and closed storage providers, great support and price
Chose MSP360 Backup
Easier to manage, faster to implement and control, support for different cloud providers
Chose MSP360 Backup
We have looked into other backup providers, but it has all come down to value for the dollar. While some providers are more polished or have better name brand recognition, MSP360 has all the core components and is just as strong of a platform for considerably fewer investment …
Chose MSP360 Backup
By far the best and easiest solution for easy cloud backups. We bought the license and had it installed and running within about 10 minutes. Easy to restore data with very little trouble. Allows storage straight to Glacier for quick cheap storage. We have since recommended …
Chose MSP360 Backup
The MSP360 web management portal is unbeatable. It makes management and fault correction much easier. Unfortunately, Veeam does not have this without setting up a specific server for this purpose.
Chose MSP360 Backup
Unitrends has an easier management console. You can generate all kinds of reports. CloudBerry is easy to set up, but Unitrends is even easier. You don't have to wait for an installer with Unitrends if you decide to build a custom installer. It's just there to download. You can …
Chose MSP360 Backup
CloudBerry has a low cost but has the ability to attach to just about all the popular storage destinations. It is feature-rich and we've not got into a situation where the software has let us down.
Chose MSP360 Backup
They offer more OS support than anyone else. The only sad thing is that CloudBerry dropped their ransomware protection that was built in and no longer offers native ransomware protection.
Chose MSP360 Backup
I use Veeam, Nakivo and CloudBerry across the networks I manage. All three work well for their needs. Veeam is great for larger virtual environments. Nakivo is also good in those situations and because it's less expensive; it works well in smaller virtual environments. …
Chose MSP360 Backup
Mozy Pro is/was a decent product for self-service backup, but our typical client is not tech savvy enough to handle fixing the common errors (permissions, encrypted files etc> ) that cause failures. They do not monitor the backups on a regular basis, and they have no idea how …
Rubrik
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik has been the top choice among the ones I've managed over the past 20 years.
Chose Rubrik
It is the Cadillac of backup solutions and is well regarded in the industry
Chose Rubrik
Networker is really heavy in terms of learning, though it also offers a lot of features and has advantages where no good network connection is available (compression, before sending the data, Rubrik globally dedups) and Networker still offfers tape support. But we decided to …
Chose Rubrik
We selected Rubrik due to the greater support it has for our Hyperconverged platform, Namely, Nutanix AHV. Both the sales pitch and initial support was more rounded than Cohesity and inspired more confidence in the product, Rubrik were able to demo everything we were planning …
Chose Rubrik
Selected Rubrik due to API driven, modern easy to use interface and appliances in a scale out architecture with a secure file system protecting backup data
Chose Rubrik
Veeam was our previous backup option. The downside of Veeam compared to Rubrik is Veeam live inside the VM which is prone to hackers if they got access to VM. Rubrik has its own appliance and MFA is mandatory for Rubrik so that's the main reason we moved over to Rubrik.
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik was more robust and seemed to excel during restores and quick mounts. Rubrik also had a larger library of features and capabilities.
Chose Rubrik
Was over 5 years ago when we made the comparison but LOVED that Rubrik was a software and hardware solution with no finger pointing. Solution met all needs and was a turnkey product. Has been easy to maintain and grow over the years.
Chose Rubrik
There is no comparison, Rubrik worked right out of the box and even has support for IBM DB2 databases. Patches and upgrades have been performed without any issues. Database backups are run using default settings without any noticeable impact on the databases/servers and …
Chose Rubrik
I can't knock on Druva other than that their cost was higher than Rubrik, which is why we ultimately went with Rubrik. Veeam was too complicated for a simpleton like myself, and the feature set of Rubrik was exactly what we needed.
Chose Rubrik
Having all our backups under one umbrella made product management easier, with not need to manage myltip contracts.
The additional analysis of the data after the fact gave insights into our user data, without the need for an addition product, or the impact on live data sets.
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik is a more straightforward product to implement and manage. We mainly went with Rubrik for security reasons like ransomware protection and immutable database.
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik do better on all the core feature of the backup domain
Chose Rubrik
Previously used Veeam years ago, but much happier with this.
Chose Rubrik
When I used Netvault in the past the interface was NOT intuitive especially when it came to setting up new jobs and adding new VM's to an existing backup job schedule. Adding a new VM used to take me approximately 45 minutes to make sure that everything was assigned properly. …
Chose Rubrik
The biggest thing that Rubrik gave us over using Veeam is the secure appliances. We don't have to have another server to manage that simply runs the backup software, we have a managed appliance with a single update interface. Veeam backup and restore works just as well, but …
Chose Rubrik
rubrik is much easier to deploy and manage. in so many ways. support is much better. sales is much better. customer involvement and response for features is much better. commvault is more granular but that hasn't hurt us. it takes less time to add new instances and less time on …
Chose Rubrik
Of all the tools Cohesity was the closest to Rubrik but the lack of Nutanix support was the deciding factor for us. HYCU is native to Nutanix but without the Nutanix Objects the deduping rate was limited. Veratas fell in the older school classification of process that did …
Chose Rubrik
Comprehensive Technical Comparison requirement gathering and features mapping with requirement Rubrik Team Technical competencies ensures that all area gets covered and product/solution addresses all corners.
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik, similar to Unitrends, provides an all encompassing DR solution for both cloud and on premise application and data needs.
Chose Rubrik
Easier deployment integrating with vCenter and backup policy assignments.
Chose Rubrik
Veeam was evaluated as an alternative, however, Rubrik had tighter integration with other infrastructure in the stack, such as storage.
Rubrik, being primarily a hardware appliance can be installed much more rapidly.
Chose Rubrik
We felt the solution provided by Rubrik better aligned with our business needs. Nothing wrong with the other solutions. But we thing we've made the right decision.
Chose Rubrik
Veeam was good product, but we felt Rubrik fit a little better for us.
Chose Rubrik
Rubrik has smaller footprint of hardware compared to the competition and ease of operations. The software is a bit more stable and allows the scaling of the infra in a much easier way and manage. The polaris tool / reporting module is very easy for management to look at the …

MSP360 provides the most flexibility when it comes to backup solutions. there have been no cases where it could not be used for our manages services clients. It has saved our clients many times over the years and we do not use another backup solution for any of our clients. There are a lot of solutions out there but MSP360 is priced right and serves the needs of all of our Managed Services clients.

Rubrik is great for large enterprises but might not fit the best for smaller sized companies with low backup demands. We have had to restore virtual machines quickly , and Rubrik's quick mount on solid state was tremendous at getting the client back running. The only negative is the mac address changed even though we had checked retain mac. We had to go back into vmware and set it.

Pros
  • Great management panel from the web. You can add and configure existing backup plans without access to the endpoint server.
  • You can limit cloud usage for customers and servers.
  • You can transfer entire servers or virtual machines to cloud.
  • You can backup files, disks, or virtual machines to local and cloud locations.

  • Easy onboarding. We were able to make a connection to our M365 environment in less than 5 minutes, and backups were processing within just a couple minutes after that.
  • Good customer service. From sales to post-implementation, the staff at Rubrik were helpful, professional, and focused on me.
  • Set and forget. Outside of regular test restores, I don't have to worry about constantly trying to tweak settings within the Rubrik console to get it working better. It just works.

Cons
  • Message errors are hard to understand
  • Should add a general interface to manage all accounts, not a specific interface for every account.
  • The new backup formats enhancements should be available for all cloud storage companies. More focus with Wasabi would be great because of their focus on storage and low prices.

  • Reporting and creation of custom Reports
  • Orchestrated Recovery is not available for Nutanix AHV yet
  • Threat Hunt Investigations in YARA rules are difficult to find documentation on how to write.
  • Data Protection All "Search Across Rubrik" doesn't encompass files/folder you have to specify the brick to search for that to restore.

I love Cloudberry. I am using it at three different sites to backup their mission critical file servers and it works great. It is a very cost effective backup solution that is easy to setup and use and the support is also very good. I would recommend it to anyone that needs a good backup solution for their business.

The support has been incredible. Any time we have had a question, it has always been answered within 24hrs. Also, the team is always will to hop on a Zoom call to help walk us through the dashboard and troubleshoot any issues we are having. Also, having the peace of mind that our data is protected should anything happen in our system.

Usability
The screens are very easy to understand and very detailed. I have not had any issues finding what I was looking for or understanding what options to use to create my backups. Cloudberry has a simple easy to use interface that is well designed and the documentation is excellent compared to some other backup software I have used in the past.

The GUI was successfully designed to be very easy to use and work through. It is a very logical work flow that is easy to navigate and just makes sense. That is part of the charm when in the moment of stress, you can still find your way around and accomplish the desired recovery.

I have not had to reach out to their support. However, when we were elvaluating options and looking at MSP360, their reps did a great job. They were able to answer our questions quickly, andf had a real understanding of their product and all the ways that it could be deployed.

Rubrik support is hands down some of the best product support we have. They know their product and are quick to assist. Submitting support cases is easier and they are very responsive. You don't have to use Rubrik support often but when you do they have your back.

Easy to follow and very thorough. Trainer was knowledgeable and helpful answering any questions and providing detailed answers where possible. It's also nice to gain another badge :) There is also the Rubrik University online tutorials to refer back to and keep updated with new innovations. I would say the exam was very hard.

Easy and successful implementation and the results have been very good with no issues since the install and go live. I highly recommend Cloudberry Backup software to anyone needing an easy to install, setup and manage backup solution. Excellent product with great features and reliability at a very good price point.

From experience the implementation was smooth and easy, like a simple plug and play format but would need coordination from your network team to be able to see the entire IT infrastructure.

Alternatives Considered
Mozy Pro is/was a decent product for self-service backup, but our typical client is not tech savvy enough to handle fixing the common errors (permissions, encrypted files etc> ) that cause failures. They do not monitor the backups on a regular basis, and they have no idea how to properly execute a restore. There is no ability to chose from multiple back-end storage platforms, retention periods are not nearly as flexible, the upload speed is slower and it does not have the bandwidth throttling that Cloudberry possesses, and it does not have true client-side encryption keys at least when we used it).

Very easy to add new 'briks' (or nodes as everyone else calls them :P) as long as the network is plugged in and configured, the briks will discuss among themselves and welcome the new comer into the cluster

Return on Investment
  • Since switching from Mozy Pro to Cloudberrylab four years ago, our ROI has been extremely positive. The reliability of the product has improved significantly such that we do not need to dedicate much staff time to monitor/manage the backups on a daily basis.
  • By designating a backup specialist within our organization tasked with keeping up with the latest features, testing restores, and fixing any issues that arise with client backups, we have a high level of efficiency and can respond to restore requests in a very short timeframe.
  • We have been able to lower the per GB price to our customers and still maintain our overall profitability for our backup service

  • Rubrik has eliminated all our other backup tools that we were trying to accomplish what they offer.
  • Rubrik has made management of backups a non-issue.
  • Recovery of systems and files takes seconds or minutes.
  • We have a better strategy against ransomware.
