Accessible from anywhere without the requirement to purchase hardware
We are customers of Carbonite Backup and I'm the company IT manager The fact that we don't need to purchase any hardware is a huge benefit. It also means we can have access from anywhere.  I think they could implement some new functionalities and I'd like to see some better training provided,…

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

"We don't need to purchase any hardware for this solution."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's technical support team is very responsive and proactive."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"I would like to see more openness for partners to access and assist in system management. Currently, access is limited, often handled by Rubrik personnel, likely due to security concerns."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"It is an expensive product."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
