Rubrik Reviews

We use this solution extensively - it helps with fast recovery scenarios and some ransomware issues. The solution is used by the operations department and I believe there are more than five people involved in maintenance, most are storage or network admins. I'm an engagement architect.

The live mount capability is the most valuable feature in the product because it reduces the complexity and gives us good RTO.

The user interface could be improved, it's pretty rough.

I've been using this solution since it was introduced into the market about four or five years ago. 

There is good stability in this solution, it's reliable.

The solution is highly scalable and reliable. We have a lot of users in the company, most are storage and backup admins. Not everyone has access to the backup system. 

Rubrik customer support is excellent. 

I have used Veritas in the past. We switched to Rubrik because the solution offered more. 

The initial setup is very straightforward. Deployment to about three hours, no more. The setup time really depends on net issues. 

This product is easy to manage. 

I would rate this solution a nine out of 10. 

I am a reseller in Sweden. Rubrik is a specific backup solution for the environment.

The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features.

The initial setup of Rubrik is straightforward. It requires one person to deploy the solution.

The price is too high. 

The price of Rubrik is too high, especially when you are considering a change in the total backup solution.

If you are considering Rubrik as a solution be sure about the costs for expansion.

I rate the solution a 9 out of 10.

We use it for backup and recovery of VMware servers, physical Windows servers, SQL Databases, and Microsoft Exchange.

Our previous backup solution was slow, unreliable, and difficult to manage. Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple.

Instant Recovery of VMs: We had a case where a SQL server had been rendered unusable. Rubrik had us back up and running in seconds.

It is not Windows Cluster-Aware at the moment or Exchange DAG-Aware. If they add support for these particular use cases, it would be even better.

In the event of any issues or questions, the support is top-notch. We rarely need to use support, but when they are needed, they are always quick to respond and very knowledgeable.

We used Backup Exec and Veeam. We made the switch as we found Backup Exec was slow, unreliable, and difficult to manage. Having two solutions was also not ideal, and Rubrik met our needs perfectly. 

The initial setup was very straightforward. 

Rubrik is at the pricier end of the market, but the setup and implementation are so simple that it just works.

We looked at Veeam with ExaGrid and Arcserve.

We are doing a business with Rubrik. I am responsible for implementing the solution to our customers. Even though I am not trained for implementing, it is easy to use and easy to learn. We also get backups for our own environment. 

We had some VMware issue as VMware did some changes on the AHCI drivers. Rubrik saved our environment those times.

• Instant recovery
• Live mount

The open source database needs to be supported.

There are no issues with the stability. 

The solution is scalable to multiple petabytes. Since we do not have that much data, the one which we are using is enough.

10 out of 10.

I used to use Veeam.

The initial setup was straightforward. There is a bootstrap script, which does all the IP address initialization. for all the metadata disk preparation and service openings. 

We did the implementation by ourselves because the deployment and using it is straightforward. 

I cannot provide that information. 

The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution. There is no licensing in terms of capacity. The TCO is lower if you buy it for two or three years. 

We used Veeam before.

It is a great product. 

Rubrik backup is more than twice as fast as our previous solution. Also, its deduplication rate is significantly better.

• One platform for instant recovery
• Search
• Development
• Cloud

Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover.

None to date. It just works.

No. Rubrik is easily scalable when it comes to both capacity and performance.

Excellent and speedy, too.

Yes, Asigra. Switched due to cost, near zero recovery times, and the fact that VMDK restores constantly failed.

Literally racked, powered on, and all done in 30 minutes. I just needed my Vcenter details.

It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings.

Commvault, Arcserve, and Datto.

See past the immaturity of the product. This will improve RPO/RTOs and save you a lot of time and money.

I am a reseller and systems integrator. This is used as a backup solution that already has a hardware appliance associated with it. So you don't need to buy a separate appliance from another vendor since Rubrik would already have hardware that's compatible with its backup software.

I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided.

It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit.

It is very stable.

It's able to be very scalable, either scaling up or scaling out.

Support is good now that they are done restructuring.

The initial setup is relatively straightforward takes a team of three anywhere from two weeks to a month depending on size.

If clients agree to the relatively higher price point, it is definitely something we recommend, There is a lot of flexibility in how it can be deployed, and where their data can be backed up (i.e. on-premise or in the cloud).

I would rate it an eight out of ten.
