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,…

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."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"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."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature has been the Live Mount feature."
 

Cons

"Lacks sufficient documentation or training videos."
"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."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"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."
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"It is an expensive product."
