"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"Could be improved from an analytics point of view."
"As with all things, the solution can be improved by reducing the cost."
"In the next release, it should have direct export to tape drive abilities and NDMP support."
"The solution could offer better reporting."
"The solution needs to introduce more features."
"Pricing is an area for improvement, and I would rate it at five out of ten."
"They should improve the backup and restoration time."
"This solution does provide the option to choose a different target of storage."
"This is a cloud solution, and the speed can be slow sometimes."
