Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use
During the current times, solutions must have a backup system from a main server, and an active directory service. Also, it is no longer important to have a backup for different environments, such as databases, application servers, and web servers. However, ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus must get a main server for itself.

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary."
"The most valuable features of Rubrik are the restoration and ease of use."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"I think the best feature is its masterless architecture."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"ubrik's One-Touch Recovery helps address this. Using backup as a migration tool can also help overcome challenges when moving to a hybrid cloud."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
 

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"We have some challenges with the solution's reporting because historical reports have some limitations."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."
"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."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"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 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 for add-ons, and they recently upgraded a new cluster, which also carries a price."
"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."
