"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is successful with the SMB market."
"The backup and recovery are the most valuable features. So, our developers can work with confidence."
"Rubrik is highly scalable and is easy to do."
"The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
"Instant recovery of virtual machines allows for the restoration of services in minutes."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"It has a good interface which is simple to navigate and utilize."
"It has a streamlined user interface, provides an improved tech support experience, and reduces time required to locate and restore data."
"The UI is a little dated and hard to use. Some of the buttons are a bit small. You have to go into the menu to get the settings you want."
"The GUI could be slightly improved."
"The GUI has room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in stability."
"It's a global feature that the customer thinks they don't have enough tools to manage, to copy, to delay, and to classify the object file in the backup directory. So they need more tools to manage files in object directory."
"Additional features I would like to see are the ability to restore to different vendors, AWS and Azure, and/or the ability or take the information out of the AWS cloud."
"The solution has the option to take backup on-prem servers, but it's not very efficient."
"More documentation would be helpful, especially some step-by-step documents for recovery scenarios."
"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."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated. It is not something that helps the DBA, the Database Administrator, but it should be done by the backup person like many other solutions. Everything is ready for the DBA to recover the database. It is a way of doing things, but I don't think you should give the backup people the ability to do it."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"They should give more access to the backend capabilities. From a customer point of view, you do not have access to all the features on the system. You have to engage their support to perform some of the tasks. It would be helpful for an experienced engineer to be able to go and do some of those tasks prior to contacting the support."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Its cost is high."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
