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.

Ensures data protection and supports SAP consistency while reducing costs
Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering. It serves as a reliable solution for backup and reporting capabilities about the health of the backups. Even though I am not utilizing all tools and options, it meets my comprehensive requirements and allows backup of emails as well, making it a versatile tool.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"Intelligent agent technology."
"Rubrik has led to improvement by reducing the amount of failed backups, leading to a reduced workload in IT operations."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"The application backup is excellent, and using Veeam for backing up Kubernetes environments is a valuable tool."
"Dealing with cloud solutions is simple and removes many headaches from troubleshooting and implementing the solution."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud’s most valuable feature is data backup and replication."
"I recommend it to other companies due to its reliable solutions, significant cost reductions, and comprehensive functionality."
"I find Veeam to be a good tool for backing up Office 365 and virtual machine environments."
"Veeam Backup for Google Cloud provides significant cost reduction with NETIO Cloud's offering."
 

Cons

"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"I do not have notes for improvements."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
"Some of the prerequisites for Veeam are challenging."
"There could be a feature to take a snapshot for version backup."
"The licensing could be improved, particularly by providing a 'pay-as-you-go' option through Azure, AWS, or GCP portal itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"It is an expensive product."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"The solution is affordable."
