An affordable product that offers a reasonably good technical support
I rate the product's initial setup phase an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup phase. The product's installation phase took me around two weeks. On average, it usually takes about a week or two to deploy when everything is in place. The solution is deployed on a hybrid cloud from Azure.

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.

Pros

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"We use this solution as an integrated backup solution and it is integrated from the backup provider to the Nutanix solution."
"I like the autofill-over feature and the simplicity of the solution."
"Nutanix has its own backup system known as HYCU, as well as its own virtual server."
"Nutanix can converge legacy-style rack mount servers, so it is highly scalable."
"We find the ease of use valuable."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"Instant recovery is a good feature."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"It has the ability to test DR in a controlled, inexpensive way and to restore between environments."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"What I like about Rubrik is its strong focus on security, particularly in combating ransomware threats."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
 

Cons

"The price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Nutanix is not secure enough, and it needs to be more resilient."
"It could be cheaper."
"This solution could be improved with regards to the hosts that integrate with the platform itself. Each of the hosts integrated with the storage and networking only provide one instance of a backup."
"I would like to see the multi-cloud improve."
"The solution's setup process should be simplified."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"Its cost is high."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"The functionality is missing, but they are very receptive to our thoughts and ideas."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"Price-wise, Rubrik needs improvement as it is considered expensive compared to similar competitors."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is affordable or low, and ten is expensive or high, I rate the price as two."
"Nutanix Mine Integrated Backup is fairly priced."
"While Nutanix Mine is extremely expensive for small businesses, it is a very cost-effective product for enterprise businesses."
"I rate the pricing a five out of ten because the price is average."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"Its price tends to go up with time. Its pricing definitely has room for improvement. If you negotiate right with them, you might get a good price. Support is a part of the package, and every three years, when we renew our contract, we get new hardware."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"We are on an annual license to use Rubrik and it is priced well."
"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."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
