Enterprise DevOps Lead at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Automated disaster recovery has cut manual work and now protects cross‑region workloads confidently
There are three major areas where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS can be improved: infrastructure as code integration, predictive AI analytics, and data compression. Currently, we construct our automated landing zones using IaC, but we still have to jump into Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS UI afterwards to manually configure the application backup groups and policies. Being able to declare all our backup schedules directly inside our Terraform code would streamline our automation pipelines massively. In terms of predictive AI reporting, it needs to be more reliable. While it executes scheduled backups perfectly, it lacks proactive anomaly detection. We want the AI agent to accurately predict and flag a potential backup failure or snapshot timeout before the job actually triggers and fails. This would save our DevOps team tons of triage time.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS helped us automate backup scheduling and policy management, gave us centralized visibility with a dashboard across AWS workloads of multiple accounts, helped us with a faster recovery process, and majorly reduced our operational overhead while improving our ransomware and data protection."
"Overall, these features make day-to-day backup operations more structured, reduce operational overhead, and improve confidence around recovery preparedness and cloud resilience."
"Previously, if we had any disaster or any issue, it would take days to bring the environment back up to the original state, and with Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS, we can do that within a couple of hours, which greatly reduces downtime in the case of disaster recovery."
"As an Advanced Tier Partner, Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has had a major positive impact on our delivery velocity and engineering efficiency."
"Automation functions, image based backup, and the ability to instantly recover anything from files to databases."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"The Live Mount feature is one of the main features we use; it is saving us time in restoring the VMs, allowing us to give them quickly to the developers for testing, resulting in a faster turnaround time."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
 

Cons

"Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS has a fairly small market presence."
"Regarding customer support, as this is a very new product and relatively new in the market, I am not sure how long they have been around, but there seems to be a lack of understanding with the support team."
"One area where Nimesa Backup and Recovery for AWS could improve is expanding advanced analytics and predictive monitoring capabilities, especially for identifying backup risks, storage optimization opportunities, and recovery readiness trends more proactively."
"Customer support is fair and okay, though it could be better."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is not what it should be. Once you gather logs, deciphering them without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Capacity reports could definitely be improved. It's hard to determine what is using the space and why. For instance, you can see that some host is using 2 TB on the Rubrik node and the disk space on that host is 400 GBs. It's hard to explain how there can be 2 TBs of data on local storage when nothing has changed on the host for the past three days."
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
"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."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
