Offers extensive automation capabilities, ransomware remediation and sensitive data discovery are better than other solutions
My clients primarily use it for for backing up enterprise workloads like VMs, databases, and other enterprise products. I work for an IT service company. I design solutions for our customers and use many Rubrik services, including Rubrik Cloud Vault, Office 365 protection, and data center…

Helps reduce costs, saves staff time, and is flexible
Using Veritas Alta Data to copy data from on-premises to the cloud is easy. Veritas Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to use. It is flexible and can be used on Windows or Linux. With basic knowledge, we can implement the solution without any problems. Alta Data's immutable storage protects our data from ransomware by making it unchangeable and recoverable. Alta Data helps provide data protection across multiple cloud environments. The integration is smooth, so we can integrate between AWS, GCP, and Azure to move duplicate data to other locations. The anomaly detection extension is available in the 10.1 release and can be used for VMware backups. In a future release, it will be available for other workloads. With the addition of ransomware and anomaly detection to Veritas Alta Data, our clients are more comfortable knowing their data is safe. Alta Data is a premium product that requires minimal knowledge to get started. Alta Data frees up our staff time because they need to check the system in the morning, and if there are any backup issues, the longest it takes to resolve them is two hours. Alta Data helps reduce costs by freeing staff time to focus on other projects, saving the organization valuable resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"I would rate the solution's web interface at eight out of ten. It's just fantastic and intuitive. It's so easy to use. I've never done any formal training on Rubrik, but I was able to quickly come to grips with its capabilities."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Rubrik is a faster unit from a hardware perspective. Things, like Live Mount, mean we can bring services back straightaway, then have them transition back into the live storage in the background. Because we can use Live Mount to do instant restores, a restore is now a five-minute job. Then, the rest of it is done in the background, rather than doing something for an hour before you actually get the restore back."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"It is rather easy to replicate data across your cloud environment using this solution once you've done it a few times."
"The ransomware protection feature and anomaly detection are the most valuable, and the ability to integrate new cloud workloads is also valuable."
 

Cons

"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"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."
"We would like to be able to do granular restores directly from Exchange. Also, more granular management of VM backups would help."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"NetBackup should be made more user-friendly, and a video tutorial should be created to help new users understand how to configure and use the solution properly."
"Maybe a year and a half ago, during a backup, I had an updating issue with Java."
"It would be nice if reporting was a bit easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"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."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"It is an expensive product."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"NetBackup is 20 percent more expensive compared to the competition."
