"Actifio was very stable. Whenever they identified bugs, they would promptly provide us with patches."
"The solution helps reduce costs."
"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"A reduced infrastructure complexity and fast to rack and go."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"This is a centralized tool where we are able to schedule backups and perform monitoring."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"The initial setup is complex."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"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?"
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"I want to see more features regarding filtering in the Snapshot Window, as I need to be able to set a filter for specific dates and times. If I want to check an old backup, I must scroll through one or two years of backups to find what I'm looking for."
