Rubrik Reviews

The most valuable feature of this product is fast recovery from the backup. Fast recovery is managed by attaching a disk where the backup is located. It's immediately available to the customer who doesn't need to wait for the system to recover the BKP from an archive.

The traditional backup solutions didn't allow us to give a prompt answer to customers who needed recovery. Plus, there were too many human resources involved for management.

Some of the areas that need improvement are the user GUI (multi-tenancy) and the promised Rubrik Edge solution, which will allow customers to back up their physical devices in our cloud. About the GUI, the interface for our customers is not available at the moment in a multi-tenant environment.

I have used this solution for around ten months.

We encountered an anomaly in freeing up space after archiving but the resolution from support has been satisfactory and fast.

We have not encountered any scalability issues. This is the best scalable backup device that we found in the market.

The level of technical support is very high in terms of the availability, skills and low time to solve issues.

Previously, we have used Commvault. It was a nice solution and also effective in deduplication. However, the license renewal costs were similar to 1 box of Rubrik.

We have also used Acronis, but it's not an enterprise-class product and the several issues that we encountered have not been solved by their support. We still use it because of the customer interface and BaaS.

It's been fast. It took about one hour and was installed for free by a Rubrik field engineer. It is important to note that they have no offices in Italy, so they came from Netherlands for installation.

Licensing is included in the HW. Pricing is adequate for CSP; however, it might be a bit too high for small companies.

We evaluated other traditional SW products; more or less, we looked at all of them.

If a fast recovery and scalability are critical points, then this is the best choice.

It is important to note that it's an HW solution, so all the CPU, RAM and other resources are completely dedicated to backup.

The primary use for Rubrik in our environment is data backup and recovery. Also, Rubrik has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize. 

Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime (in case of an incident was to occur). It also has quick backups helping us to stay current.

The best feature on Rubrik is the interface, as it is easy to use and navigate the program.

For Rubrik, though it does a great job, it needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field.

We have been using Rubrik to backup everything in the infrastructure, except the mainframe. For example, we were using it to do our DR, long-term archive, and some surveys on different cloud tiers.

One of the most valuable features was the ease of expanding the resources. Additionally, it is able to backup the cloud and on-premise.

I have used Rubrik within the past 12 months.

The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better.

When we have ironed out all the small problems, Rubrik was stable. When we were using our old backup we had approximately 40 incidents per week, with Rubrik we might only have two or three incidents per week. It is a lot more stable than our previous solution.

Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do.

The process of increasing or scaling the solution is to add a new server, power on the server, tell the customer they have a new server and then everything gets rebalance on the new server. Increasing and decreasing is very fast and easy.

When updates are needed everything is done through the support. When we need to upgrade we call the support, open a tunnel and the support will upgrade the box.

We have used other solutions in the past.

The initial setup takes approximately four hours. In four hours, we set up the configuration, connected it to VMware, and took the first backup. The whole process was very simple.

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.

My advice to those wanting to implement this solution is for them to try and segregate the database on their own cluster.

I rate Rubrik a ten out of ten.

We are able to use this solution to perform HANA backups, full backup integration and incremental backups, log backups, and the file system backups.

This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring.

I would like to see more information on encryption with the next release.

I have been using Rubrik for the past six months.

This is a stable solution.

This is a scalable solution. We currently have a hundred servers using Rubrik.

We were using Data Protector in the past.

The initial setup was straightforward and maintenance is required for quarterly patching.

Our infra partners executed the installation allowing us to install the agent.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive, and space consuming.

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 which is often a flaw with storage products.

Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP.

The primary use case is easy backup and recovery for multiple servers and workstations. It also backups NAS, SQL Servers, and Nutanix.

Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects.

The quick, easy backups and fast restore work great. I also enjoy support calls and the easy updates to the software.

No areas need to be updated at this time.

The addition features that I would like are a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time. Also, I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy.

I am satisfied with the product. The VM recovery and file-level recovery from the VM snapshot are valuable. It supports object storage. It supports S3 buckets. It is a good feature. Instant recovery is a good feature.

The process of adding policies to the dashboard must be improved. It is very easy to add the policies in other solutions. Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools. If there’s an issue, it is very difficult to get the logs. The product must support OpenShift Container.

I have been using the solution for more than five years.

The tool is scalable. We have more than 500 employees. We have only two administrators.

The technical support is okay. We do not face many problems. We solve all our issues.

Positive

The deployment was not easy, but it was not complex. The deployment took one day.

We use other solutions for different purposes. We chose Rubrik because it has some good features.

I will recommend the solution to others. It has some features that are not available in other products. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

It is used for data protection, data backup and security, and disaster recovery. It is also used for backup as a service inside the organization, and it is sometimes also used for cloud migration.

The security and the ransomware protection are most valuable.

They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs.

I have been using this solution for almost five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

They are very impressive. Their support is good, and they are cooperative.

It was straightforward. It took a maximum of two days.

For its deployment, you need one to two technical engineers. For support, you need one technical engineer. 

If you want to compare this solution to others, it should be an apple to apple comparison. This way, you will see the full value of the solution.

I would rate it a nine out of 10.
