Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"The automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"This is a very costly solution."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
