Rubrik Reviews

We use the Rubrik solution to back up our private cloud environment with hundreds of virtual machines.

The old method of backup wasn't the right product for our cloud solution. The restore and backup times took to long.

The most important feature is the instant recovery of virtual machines. It allows us to restore services in minutes.

We need one system to manage all the Rubrik clusters. We are now looking into Rubrik Polaris as a solution.

It's a very stable solution.

Not at all.

All of the Rubrik engineers know everything about their products.

We used NetBackup in the past but it didn't fit with our new requirements.

Straightforward.

A Rubrik engineer configured the system for us at location.

The instant recovery is what we needed. I don't know the exact ROI.

I can't speak for others, but look at what you require in your environment.

NetBackup, Veeam and Cohesity

Have a look at the Rubrik API Playground to automate a lot of processes.

We use it to backup our virtual machines, specifically file-based backup and backup of our SQL Database. We also use it to archive data on NFS Share and the cloud.

We are now able to perform fast backups and very quick restores. Now we have a tool to restore a virtual machine with Windows Server 2012 R2 from about 1 TB in around 2 minutes up to login.

The Archive function, which allows you to archive data on the cloud or NFS Share. This allows us to use cheap space in the cloud to archive long-term data, and for short-term data we can use NFS Share.

I think the product is perfect as it is. It does exactly what it is supposed to, backup and restore.

One additional feature that would be nice in one of the next releases would be the integration of MySQL/MariaDB.

No

No, if you need more space you can simply add a node.

Very good support who helps with each question. Very fast response time.

Yes, we used VMProtect but had problems with large Debian virtual machines under VMware. Sometimes the virtual machine got stuck with CPU at 100% after removing the snapshot.
This solution has much better backup and restore times.

Straightforward

Implemented through a in-house team.

One hour for critical virtual machines.

The product is not cheap, but you get really good value for your money. Setup costs are cheap because the product is easy to setup.

Yes we tried Veeam, but we had the same problem with large Debian virtual machines. The performance was not really better.

Everyone who needs fast backup and quick restore should try it.

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.

We use this solution for IaaS customer environment backup in cloud and for internal purposes. We're planning on offering a GUI to the customers so that they'll be able to restore by themselves.

• Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced.
• Reduced infrastructure complexity, and easy and fast to restore.

• Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate.
• A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go.

• Integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI.
  
• Availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment.

No issues, integration between hardware and software makes it very stable.

Not at all, it's built to be scalable.

Any of the few customer issues were promptly solved by the support. We had internal training through videos offered on their site.

We used Commvault and Acronis and we switched, the first because of complexity, the second because of unreliability.

Very simple and assisted by their engineers on site.

We bought it directly from Rubrik, whose support is praiseworthy.

Since it was fast to rack and go, ROI is highly positive, and customer response was great.

Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap. The best solution for a small company is to join a provider to backup in the cloud and/or locally with Rubrik Air (BaaS).

We looked at VEEAM (but was based only on a software solution) and Cohesity (similar but less performant).

I'm completely enthusiastic about the product, and I advise it to everyone who needs a fast and easy solution.

Rubrik is being used at my organization for the backups of virtual and physical servers enterprise-wide. I no longer feel the need to babysit and monitor all of the backup jobs in the backup system. It simply works when it is supposed to, at all times. Live recovery is near instant and it handles all mounts through the appliance for rapid recovery. Spinning up test SQL servers from mounts are also great for our development team.

Management is so simple that anyone can check the backups and do restores when necessary.

Instant recovery because it takes about 10 seconds to restore the VM from backup to production, and also mounts from point in time.

It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser.

Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup.  

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.
