"We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"It has a single pane of glass interface."
"The solution is stable."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."
"The most valuable feature is that we don't need different agents to back up our files from different accounts."

"The installation process is very easy."
"Backup and replication are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is the built-in integration with Office 365, which helps us protect email accounts and servers. We use it on virtual servers on the cloud with Azure, or we can use an agent on physical servers."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its integration with M365. Its GUI is intuitive and not bad. The granular recovery options for VMs have been useful, though not as crucial as Office 365 integration, which is why we use it. Granular recovery depends on the specific problems our customers face."
"The product’s user interface needs improvement."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"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 stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."

"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"The installation could always be a little bit easier. You do need to be a bit technical."
"The solution should provide more integration with Teams and SharePoint Online to perform other tasks."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
