Secure and seamless integration boosts defense without manual effort

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."

Cons

"Price-wise, Rubrik needs improvement as it is considered expensive compared to similar competitors."

Product version discussed: 5.1.3
Automates most of our backup workflow, automatically adding VMs and assigning the SLA, and provides instant recovery

Pros

"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."

Cons

"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. "

Easy to use with minimal training required, innovative, good support

Pros

"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."

Cons

"The Office 365 protection could be improved."

Reliable, easy to automate tasks, good PowerShell support

Pros

"We have a great success rate for backups with Rubrik and because of the ease of automating tasks, we also run periodical restores to check the quality of the backups. "

Cons

"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."

Cut our backup management time significantly, and near-instant recovery reduces our downtime

Pros

"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."

Cons

"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."

Lowers our overall management costs and provides single pane of glass management

Pros

"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."

Cons

"I would like to see the entire Office 365 product suite backed up by Rubrik. For instance, they do SharePoint and Exchange online, but they don't back up Microsoft Teams. So, I would like to see more of the Office 365 suite added into their backup capabilities."

We don't need to manage maintenance or backup windows anymore

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."

Cons

"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful. "

Takes the load off vSphere or any of our ESXi hosts and makes things just a dream to manage

Pros

"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."

Cons

"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it'd be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
