Robust solution with a good technical support team
What is our primary use case?
We predominantly use the solution as a backup system to protect and manage the data. The data is logically air-gapped making the backup immune to malware.
What is most valuable?
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.
What needs improvement?
The solution's reporting feature is very basic. It needs to be more advanced for detailed reporting.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for two years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is robust. I rate its stability a ten out of ten.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I rate the solution's scalability a nine out of ten.
How are customer service and support?
The response time of the solution's technical support team is helpful. It provides detailed feedback on the issues as well. Thus, explaining the problems and steps taken to fix them becomes more accessible to the clients.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's initial setup process is straight forward if you get all the essential requirements from the client. Although, it takes work to ensure we have included the right SPF and network requirements for the data center.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The solution is expensive for small businesses. It suits medium to large enterprises. I rate its pricing a five out of ten. Also, some products are low-cost, while a few are more expensive than the solution.

HyperConverged Backup that's Simple and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
Rubrik truly is truly next-gen backup. It's simple to set up and backups just work as expected with no drama or questions. Compared to other backup solutions we've had in the past, the simplicity of setup and the consistence of backups is amazing and refreshing.
All backups are scheduled and conform to user-defined SLAs. The SLAs ensure that backups run on the defined schedule and are retained for the desired length.
Another big win is that Rubrik integrates with our VMware environment so agents aren't needed for backups. We've selectively added agents to servers for more granular restores and VSS backups. The agent (Rubrik calls them "connectors") don't require a reboot for installation or update and we haven't seen a noticeable performance impact.
Rubrik allows live-mounting backups so you can compare backups (server, SQL, etc) or use that backup snapshot as a dev/test environment with actual prod data.
Finally, everything in Rubrik is open API driven. This allows a high level of relatively easy customization and easy integration with other systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rubrik is a startup and while they're growing rapidly, the product is not as mature as some competitors. We're waiting/hoping for some features in future versions that will make things better. Currently we can't back up AIX version 6 and AD backups aren't granular (only VSS snapshots).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted simplified backups that ran quickly and consistently. Additionally, we didn't want to devote lots of man hours to managing the system post-implementation. We've seen consistent hands-off backups and
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You'll pay for the solution initially but will recoup much value in time spent over the long-term. The company is responsive and values its customers far more than other vendors I've worked with in the past. Rubrik support is extremely responsive, knowledgeable and fixes issues/questions quickly and pleasantly.
Try a POC and realize that the grass really is greener on the other side :)
