Rubrik vs Veeam

When the onus of security falls on your shoulders, can you even call it a data security solution? Find out why Rubrik is a better alternative to Veeam.

		Veeam
Secure your data from threats	Rubrik runs on an immutable, append-only file system that is immutable at the time the cluster is created.	Veeam requires an additional component, a hardened Linux repository, or object storage for data immutability.
	Rubrik has no Windows dependencies and stores backups in a proprietary format on hyperconverged storage.	Rubrik has no Windows dependencies and stores backups in a proprietary format on hyperconverged storage.
	Backup expiration based on Monotonic Clock prevents NTP changes or poisioning from expiring backups.	Backup expiration based on Monotonic Clock prevents NTP changes or poisioning from expiring backups.
	Rubrik supports AD/LDAP integration as well as SSO via SAML, 2FA, and Native TOTP.	Uses Windows AD for authentication and does not support customized RBAC.
	Hyperconverged platform with software, storage, and compute all in one.	Segmented architecure with the need of a 3rd party storage device used as a backup repository.
Backup expiration based on system time is vulnerable to NTP changes or poisioning to expire your backups	Uses multi-phased, adaptive machine learning intelligence to detect anomalous activity and encryption.	Uses separate application to provide broad, static, user-set thresholds to determine when to alert users.
	Comprehensive model training uses simulations and real-world attacks to ensure high-confidence alerting.	Frequent false positives can lead users to disregard alarms.
	Fully integrated sensitive data discovery.	No built-in sensitive data classification features.
	Rubrik Threat Hunting finds malware activity in current and historical copies of data.	No threat hunting capability.
Rapidly recover your data	Integrated DR Orchestration with single-click application recovery.	Utilizes a separate application for DR Orchestration with no single pane of glass management.
	SLA-based backups are applied at an object level, allowing for granular assignment regardless of workload.	Restrictive job-based approach that creates unneccessary job sprawl as the environment grows.
	Rubrik can detect malware in backups and provide a blast radius, allowing recovery of the last known good copy of data.	Unable to detect malware without the use of a 3rd party antivirus scanner. Does not provide a blast radius or any indication of last known good backup without manual scanning of each backup.
