"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"Also, the web interface is really great. The design, from a user-experience standpoint, is really straightforward and easy to use... they nailed it. Usually, from the very first panel, the dashboard that you land on after login, you've got most of your functionality right around where you need it to be. You've got your new items on the left, you've got your support on the top right. Nothing really seems out of place or just stuck in someplace."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using. It feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult. It's not just the day to time savings. When something goes wrong, that's where the real time savings comes into play. We are able to get back to where we need to be more confidently and with much fewer steps."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The initial setup is complex."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution."
"User interface could be improved."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
