"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"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."

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."
