Fast data recovery for large scale datasets
The Infiniguard (dedicated disc storage), offers a petabyte of storage space for on-site disc storage for backups. Because of this, we were able to get rid of our tapes. Essentially, it replaced our tape backups. We're definitely going to be buying another INFINIDAT array. We do have another location that is going to be needing a new array sometime soon, so we'll be buying another one. The beautiful thing about them is that you can set them up to replicate for disaster recovery between the two of them and set up some nice replication jobs, site to site, for automatic database replication.

Easy to do backup, easy to deploy and scalable
I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud. Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Essentially, it replaced our tape backups."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"The most valuable feature is the archive to cloud location and the automation around the PowerShell script. There are also reports and dashboards."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more improvement in the GUI."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"If I could take a snapshot from a physical and be able to stand it up as a virtual immediately without the need to rebuild an entire system and restoring files, that would be HUGE."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"There are additional costs for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
