Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
Amit Motiwale - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers extensive automation capabilities, ransomware remediation and sensitive data discovery are better than other solutions
Rubrik is an important tool for data recovery in case of a ransomware attack. It's a crucial part of their overall venture, as data recovery would be difficult without it. The guarantee of data restoration in a crisis is the main benefit. It's a combination of all features that offer value, like ransomware remediation and sensitive data discovery, that are better than other solutions. Rubrik is emerging with its AI capabilities. Rubrik's AI companion is called Ruby which is very useful.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"The initial setup is pretty simple."
"The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"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."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
 

Cons

"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
