Rubrik

Vorteile

Instant recovery of VMs using the direct mount feature of Rubrik.
Ability to archive your backups to cloud storage.
Ease of use

Nachteile

Pricing and complex licensing options and naming of the features.
Limited integration options with opensource virtualization solutions like Proxmox/KVM etc.

Vorteile

The web management portal is fast, api-based from the start, and top notch customer service and account teams. They have recovered all systems for me in the past and work quickly to resolve any issues. Non-stop updates for the product to add features and fix bugs.

Nachteile

The reporting and filtering continues to need improvement though they have been adding features along the way. The AWS-hosted clusters are not as stable as the hosted hardware clusters but never any data loss in either case.

Vorteile

Rubrik is used to protect 1,000+ objects in my environment with 90%+ being VMware virtual machines. It is being used across the whole organization, globally, with three clusters existing to support our global initiatives. It provides backup protection for my objects and also provides a way to migrate certain data profiles into the cloud.

Searchable Content - search for file across datasets allows for quick restores.

Nachteile

I am patiently awaiting the release of 4.1 which should bring massive improvements to the functionality of the system as well as add additional features missing from the product. I feel Rubrik is well suited for customers that want to run high amount of snapshots per day and wish for a lower RPO granularity for restore. It is less appropriate for perhaps customers that want to run all their backups in one evening because of how jobs are queued and spread across the backup window.

Missing functionality - allow for more granular intervals across different time segments.

Vorteile

the immutable file system which make it stand outside the cyber attack

Nachteile

the integration with the third party sql cluster software is not compactable

Vorteile

Rubrik is bringing simplicity where usually complexity is the rule. It helps to secure your data, your environment and can detect data loss and damages before they are actually reported

Nachteile

I don't dislike anything about Rubrik, may be a bit too early to announce new feature before having them GA

Warum Rubrik gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Rubrik

Vorteile

Rubrik has changed our whole approach to backup and DR, has simplified and we no longer wait for backups to finish, knowing everything is secure and immutable is a great weight off our minds

Nachteile

cost, can be pricey to get system configured for full DR solution
support can be slow, we seem to get west coast USA support if we log tickets from the UK, takes a day to then get assistance

Vorteile

The backup and recovery options have always exceeded our basic expectations. We've come to depend on them, and thus are now able to rule out most other options which don't meet our new standards.

Nachteile

The move to their cloud-based services has at times been challenging. I can't say that they have always been as diligent as they needed before rolling out new features or changes. However, they have always been helpful in working through all issues.

Vorteile

Hardware, Software, Support what not everything that Rubrik provides are very helpful for everyone.

Nachteile

Require improvements in the Reporting. Sometimes we are unable to find the required feature.

Vorteile

The ease of use and confidence in our backups has allowed us to allocate our time to other projects. Compared to other tools that we have used in the past, Rubrik is miles ahead in this space.

Nachteile

The migration to the Rubrik Security Cloud has been a little tedious and some items are not fully implemented as they were in the local CDM. Once these are ironed out, we will be back to fully satisfied with the product.

Vorteile

I love how the vision is set on security. In an age where ransomware is on everyones mind, we have to stay vigilant and maintain high standards in who we deal with. Rubrik is very concerned with security and pushes us to be better.

Nachteile

It is not inexpensive to do something well. This is the case with Rubrik as well. If you use the features that you pay for, it is worth it. If you do not use the features that you pay for, it is likely going to feel more expensive.

Vorteile

Rubrik just works right out of the box without any customization. The solution performed beyond expectation for the workloads we migrated from a competing solution that was not able to handle them.

Nachteile

We have had some performance and functionality issues after a recent version upgrade.

Vorteile

Ease of use, great support. always innovating.

Nachteile

Just minor things like not being able to push agents out. Better support for ReFS.

Vorteile

As a Service Desk Technician, you might appreciate Rubrik's straightforward user interface and ease of use, which can streamline the backup process for VMs. The automation features could also be a highlight, reducing manual intervention and saving time. Additionally, Rubrik's fast recovery capabilities might stand out, ensuring minimal downtime in case of data loss. Lastly, the scalability of the solution could be a pro, as it allows for growth without significant changes to the backup infrastructure. These aspects could contribute to a positive experience with Rubrik for VM backup in a company setting.

Nachteile

Based on the information available, it seems there have been several issues reported with Rubrik, particularly concerning support cases and technical difficulties. For instance, there was a case where backup jobs were unable to replicate, causing significant delays and frustration due to the lack of timely support and data requested by the users123. Additionally, there were concerns about the reliability of the product, as jobs that were running smoothly suddenly halted without clear explanatio

Vorteile

Love the ease of implementation and administration.

Nachteile

Reporting and sorting in the reports need improving. Can't sort by most of the columns.

Vorteile

The GUI is super friendly and easy to use. Setting up SLA is such a breeze and so is managing the backups and restoring.

Nachteile

It can be costly if you want additional security features.

Vorteile

Its not just backups, its data security, if you are still just taking flat backups with no data validation and security checks then you need to update.

Nachteile

Not much to complain about, but if there is something, then there will be delayed support for AHV products.

Vorteile

I love that everything is in one interface, the ability to create multiple SLAs is a massive win for my company. The additional protections that Rubrik allows from a security side is amazing.

Nachteile

The knowledge articles some of the time are not the best, so you have to reach out to support to get further.

Vorteile

Central management with archiving/replication built in!

Nachteile

Terminology used on restores, exports, mounts, live mounts etc.

Vorteile

Its easy to use and it works every time. Support is fantastic if you have to get help.

Nachteile

Nothing. I've not had any issues that weren't resolved very quickly

Vorteile

Easy to setup and maintain. Able to push to AWS easily as needed. Havent had to use it yet, but the option to run server off the brick if something happens and you need to fix it.

Nachteile

Little pricey but its worth it. The tunnel closure timeline is too short sometimes it feels like.

Vorteile

The best feature of Rubrik is its simplicity combined with powerful functionality. The user friendly interface makes complex data management tasks easy to execute even for users who aren't overly familiar with Rubrik.

Nachteile

Initial cost - implementing Rubrik may require a significant upfront investment
and complexity of integration - integrating it into existing IT infrastructure can be sometimes complex and you will need Rubrik's assistance to succeed

Vorteile

Used to be simple and straight forward.

Nachteile

With RSC it has gotten better in some ways and worse in others but its still new and being upgraded.

Vorteile

It meets or exceeds industry requirements.

Nachteile

Least favorable aspect was the cost, and getting the right amount of storage

Vorteile

Since I have started working with Rubrik I have been very impressed with the speed in which they are able to provide solution to issues. My support team is always available and always accepting new ideas no matter how far fetched they may be.

Nachteile

I have not had any issues with Rubrik other than bugs when testing beta releases. That is to be expected though.

Vorteile

Efficient Archiving
all in One Management
Stability

Nachteile

Inability to manage the expiration of relics.

Vorteile

I like how easy it is to create policies and restore backups

Nachteile

I wish we would be able to export backups as a pst file

Vorteile

Fast, efficient way to make sure your data is protected and able to be backed up and restored.

Nachteile

The initial cost is a lot for some companies, but in the long run, it pays for itself.

Vorteile

Ability to manage and backup all of my cloud based solutions with a single product.

Nachteile

The setup was a bit difficult across the various cloud platforms we have.

Vorteile

This make sure company data is always available without any loss. This archive data in storages based on storage tiers on customer requirements. Later users can change their tier based on the price. If there's a disaster happened, then company can recover the data because data is backup in cloud and we can rstore data easily.

Nachteile

Technical expertise should be needed to manage this tool.

Vorteile

Very intuitive and easy to use, a lot of integrations built in for services such as VMware, Office 365 and SQL Server. Backups are encrypted and help prevent any ransomware. Speed of recovering from a backup is very quick and impressive.

Nachteile

No overall cons, it's pricey but worth every penny providing comfort that everything is backed up securely and readily available with a great customer support team behind it for any queries or issues on setup.

Vorteile

I have used features like cloud backup, management dashboard, instant recovery and data privacy. Setup process is simple and anyone can work without any hassle. The interfaces are very user friendly. The backup speed is fast and easy to replicate among different data centers.

Nachteile

Interfaces are easy user friendly and I think they could improve more to the current standard level.

Vorteile

The Rubrik appliance is reliable, has a robust feature set, their support team is world-class (seriously the best in the game), and updates add awesome new features far more often than new bugs.

Nachteile

It can be a little pricey for small to mid size businesses, but It's well worth that cost. Other than that I have zero complaints.

Warum Rubrik gewählt wurde

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Rubrik

Vorteile

1. Friendly User Interface and easy to use
2. Allows on the click options to backup, replicate and restore.
3. Reduces manual intervention by automating SLA for backups
4. Provides good visual insights and monitoring features
5. Support for multiple cloud platforms makes it unique

Nachteile

1 Cost is a bit high as compared to other similar products
2. More options for report generation can be provided

Vorteile

Speed. Backups are very quick, restores (especially instant ones) are very very quick.

Nachteile

Sometimes figuring out why a backup failed requires you to open a support ticket, the errors aren't super useful or help and a lot of times it's a quick fix from them but a more descriptive error message would point to the same thing.

Vorteile

The Rubrik API is central to the product
Rubrik backs up VMware-based VM very well
Rubrik is a growing company, which makes the personal interaction we have with their folks very rewarding and productive

Nachteile

The Rubrik product is still young (only a few years old), so it has some room to mature, specifically in the non-VMware backup space
Rubrik is a growing company, so sometimes it's difficult to build a relationship with tech support staff when you get a new person every time

Vorteile

Setup was a breeze. Easy to create SLAs depending on how many snapshots you want of each vm. Migration to either azure or aws is also handy. Customer support is excellent.

Nachteile

No cons at this point in time as we've had no issues whatsoever with the product.

Vorteile

This facilitates set of features like data archiving, recovery and backup and analytics. This has a simple web-based interface that allows users to manage and monitor their data protection and management activities.

Nachteile

I have been using this for few months now and I haven't experienced anything bad.

Vorteile

Fastest time to Market - literally takes minutes to install and setup (assuming your prerequisites are met). High rate of innovation - Rubrik has a very fast release cycle, new features come out regularly. Amazing support - very high NPS score, these guys care about their customers.

Nachteile

New to the market - but these guys are just getting started. No support for non-x86 workloads. Only starting to support in-guest agents for application and database consistent backups.

Vorteile

Cloud Archival - Rubrik allows you to easily archive backups to any Objects based storage (AWS S3, Azure Blob, etc.)

File level restore - Rubrik allows you to download individual files from snapshot based backups. Without needing to mount or restore the entire VM.

Nachteile

Access Control - Rubrik's user roles and access could be a bit more granular. Current options do not allow for limited read-only accounts.

Vorteile

It's FAST. Backups complete in no time. We used to have a 12-16 hour long backup window, with Rubrik that's been shortened to about 3 hours and it doesn't even need that. Also it's build "custom" so no need to plug in Java or linux commands, most stuff is done through the gui or APIs and it all easy to understand, learn, and use.

Nachteile

Replication and archival could use some help. Replication only to another Brik, and archival, while it works, is slow and tends to not be very space or bandwidth efficient.

Vorteile

Backups of virtual machines and live mounts are done really well
Storage arrays can integrate with Rubrik.
Easy cloud archive setup.

Nachteile

More storage array integration needed.
Easier restore for files that download using the browser. I can't get this to work.

Vorteile

1. Replication to cloud
2. SLA based backups
3. Data immutability
4. Single platform
5. It's improved operational efficiency, as we now don't have to spend time scheduling backups, and has created very tangible savings. In the next 5 years we expect to save over 55% switching from our legacy provider to Rubrik. It's also mitigated us against any future data centre blackouts through its Azure replication capabilities - while significantly reducing our power consumption and footprint in the data centre.

Nachteile

Out of the box reporting could be better - However the API interface allows the generation of custom reports and the ability to retrieve any detail from the system

Vorteile

Some pros of Rubrik are that is automatically balances a schedule. Also the feature to instantly live mounts of virtual machines is very convenient.

Nachteile

Lack of native AD/Sharepoint/Exchange tools which would be a nice addition. Also there is no batch recovery without using API calls.

Vorteile

I do not need to monitor it all the time. I can just create SLA's and apply them to VM's/servers. Then I can sit back and let it backup. When we have run into issues support has been very easy to work with. Since they are still a new/growing company they take customer feedback seriously and look to implement it where they can.

Nachteile

Some features do not work as shown, but support has been great to help resolve these issues. We were sold on some features that currently do not exist but will be coming in a future update.

Vorteile

Offers simple backup and cloud backup. Provides a secured data storage with encryption facility. It also has backup scheduling and backup log facility. Stores customer database and gives precise reporting & statistics.

Nachteile

Still now I have not found any type of dislikes of the software.

Vorteile

Easy to use
Simple to manage
support is incredible
love the simple code upgrade process

Nachteile

Missing a few features, many of them are legacy, but still missing. Every release gets more features.
