"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 price could be lowered slightly, to make it more competitive."

"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."

"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better."
