"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."

"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"The archiving, off-of-box, is awesome. It lets you put your data where you want it and gives you the peace of mind of having more than one copy of it. And it's smart about the way that it does the archiving. It doesn't just copy one-for-one. It does all of its processing of the deduplication and compression before it sends it off to the archive, which helps with our cloud costs."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment.

"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The scalability is good."

"One of the main features of the solution is it is easy to use."
"It is very easy to integrate. You can do it very fast."

"The solution needs to introduce more features."
