"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"Rubrik's disaster recovery capabilities could be improved."
"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."
"Improving PowerShell integration would greatly simplify Rubrik management."
