Rubrik

The Ultimate Solution for Data Management and Protection

Pros:

Instant recovery of VMs using the direct mount feature of Rubrik. Ability to archive your backups to cloud storage. Ease of use

Cons:

Pricing and complex licensing options and naming of the features. Limited integration options with opensource virtualization solutions like Proxmox/KVM etc.

Fantastic solution and getting better and better

Comments: Overall a great experience, a world of difference from old backup and DR solutions

Pros:

Rubrik has changed our whole approach to backup and DR, has simplified and we no longer wait for backups to finish, knowing everything is secure and immutable is a great weight off our minds

Cons:

cost, can be pricey to get system configured for full DR solution support can be slow, we seem to get west coast USA support if we log tickets from the UK, takes a day to then get assistance

I am patiently awaiting the release of 4.1 which should bring massive improvements .

Comments: We haven't progressed far enough with the product to see value to our overall business objectives.

Pros:

Rubrik is used to protect 1,000+ objects in my environment with 90%+ being VMware virtual machines. It is being used across the whole organization, globally, with three clusters existing to support our global initiatives. It provides backup protection for my objects and also provides a way to migrate certain data profiles into the cloud. Searchable Content - search for file across datasets allows for quick restores.

Cons:

I am patiently awaiting the release of 4.1 which should bring massive improvements to the functionality of the system as well as add additional features missing from the product. I feel Rubrik is well suited for customers that want to run high amount of snapshots per day and wish for a lower RPO granularity for restore. It is less appropriate for perhaps customers that want to run all their backups in one evening because of how jobs are queued and spread across the backup window. Missing functionality - allow for more granular intervals across different time segments.

Fantastic data protection product

Comments: I'm using Rubrik for 8 years and I saw the evolution and the capabilities growing over the time. They are very innovative

Pros:

Rubrik is bringing simplicity where usually complexity is the rule. It helps to secure your data, your environment and can detect data loss and damages before they are actually reported

Cons:

I don't dislike anything about Rubrik, may be a bit too early to announce new feature before having them GA

I trusted them with our data and never regretted it.

Comments: Rubrik is the product I recommend to any business looking for backing up environments, especially virtual ones and databases. Have been using them for 6 years and have never regretted choosing them. The proof was when we survived a cyber attack thanks in large part to their recoverability and support during the experience.

Pros:

The web management portal is fast, api-based from the start, and top notch customer service and account teams. They have recovered all systems for me in the past and work quickly to resolve any issues. Non-stop updates for the product to add features and fix bugs.

Cons:

The reporting and filtering continues to need improvement though they have been adding features along the way. The AWS-hosted clusters are not as stable as the hosted hardware clusters but never any data loss in either case.
