Rubrik Cloud - Lovely to use, check your sizing!
What do you like best about the product?
Rubrik have been really approachable, happy to discuss any issues we might have and support has always got to the bottom of any problems we've had. The product itself is very user friendly, simple to use and also looks great! Every feature we've had to utilise so far has just, worked, and worked as expected as well (always a bonus!) The materials available for study of the products and getting involved with Rubrik (think, swag, customer engagement) has also been a plus point.
What do you dislike about the product?
1. Sizing, its taken us a long time (and is still ongoing) to get the sizing of the product correct, I'm not sure the retention policies and the way data 'ages out' of the platform was explained to us properly.
2. Alerts - Alert notifications were not as easy to configure and customise as I would have liked.
3. Integration with Oracle databases - Whilst we were told that the product supports Oracle native backups, it wasn't fully explained that this was only for a very specific configuration scenario.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us ensure backups are complete, reliable and on-time, we're also secure in the knowledge that our workloads are backed up in multiple locations, both on and off prem.
Easy, efficient and worth the investment
What do you like best about the product?
The backup procedure is fairly intuitive and highly customizable using RestAPIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some things that you have to go to support to have changed if your corporate policies demand it, and there are some things that can only be chnged using the API. However, I wouldn't change it because it would add unnecessary complexity for something that isn't a common occurrence.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and efficient data recovery for thost accidental file deletions and corrupt servers. Not only am I more productive, I look like the hero when I can save the day in mere minutes.

Whenever the data center encounters issues, we can spin the data on the cloud or the on-prem appliance and reduce downtime using the solution. It is the most valuable feature of Rubrik.

Rubrik works great for backups
What do you like best about the product?
We love how intuitive it is. I tell everyone that Rubrik is a security company that does backups. They protect and enable us to proactively and reactively deal with threats while preserving the environment. We love the support, simplicity and security. We have really enjoyed the relationship that we have built and we look forward to growing in the cloud with Rubrik.

We enjoy the benefits, and it is hard to find a dislike. We have been with them early on, watching them grow in size. They get better as they focus on enterprise pieces.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This backs up our whole VM environment and a lot of physical servers as well. It allows us to share access with other teams so that they can also be involved in the protection.
Complete Backup Solution with Cloud and Near Zero Failover Options
What do you like best about the product?
The admin interface is very clean and organized. Beyond that, Rubrik has integration with cloud storage and services to allow the creation of air-gapped storage for better cyber attack recovery. What I have found is that we have replication between on-prem sites and then replication to AWS, then a separate copy within AWS that is stored, but older, for a last-ditch recovery.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Rubrik can't directly backup Azure SQL Services directly to cloud for replication and recovery. The databases have to be backed up as flat files first, then saved off to storage which makes recovery options limited. If they can clean this up/add this feature we would give this a 10.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Single plane of glass console for backups spanning on-prem and cloud storage platforms with easy replication between those platforms. Rubrik has made leveraging cloud-based storage for backup retention very simple.
