Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

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.

Cons

"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"There have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"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."
"This is a very costly solution."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"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."
"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."
