My clients primarily use it for for backing up enterprise workloads like VMs, databases, and other enterprise products.

I work for an IT service company. I design solutions for our customers and use many Rubrik services, including Rubrik Cloud Vault, Office 365 protection, and data center protection. So, I design and implement, and my team supports the solutions.

Rubrik is an important tool for data recovery in case of a ransomware attack. It's a crucial part of their overall venture, as data recovery would be difficult without it.

The guarantee of data restoration in a crisis is the main benefit.

It's a combination of all features that offer value, like ransomware remediation and sensitive data discovery, that are better than other solutions.

Rubrik is emerging with its AI capabilities. Rubrik's AI companion is called Ruby which is very useful.

For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers.

Rubrik offers extensive automation capabilities. Usage varies depending on the customer. We create automation for testing, recovery scenarios, and other testing scenarios.

The only disadvantage is the price due to the extensive features.

I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance.

I have been working with Rubrik for three years.

It's very stable.

It's incredibly scalable. The size of the environment varies greatly depending on the customer. Some have two or three people, while others have thirty to forty peple.

The customer service and support are good.

The initial setup is very easy and not complex at all.

Deployment process:

We plan, design, and track everything. If it's in a data center, racking and cabling are done. Then, we integrate with VMware, the application manager, and deploy the VMs.

If it's a public cloud, it's a similar process, but we have to submit changes to the organization.

Deployment time:

It depends, but in a data center, we can be up and running in one to four weeks.

We have multiple customers, so we work with different versions.

For deployment resources, we usually need two people with minimal support from the data center for facilities, network, and security.

We haven't calculated the exact ROI, but it is a bit higher. Sometimes, customers hesitate initially due to the cost.

It is expensive.

I would recommend using it.

Identify your specific feature requirements, compare different Rubrik versions (Foundation, Business, Enterprise), and carefully consider sizing to avoid overbuying.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.

In terms of automation, Rubrik has improved data management processes. It allows for automated backups without configuring the VMware server directly, using scripts to rotate backups to the VPN source automatically.

I think the best feature is its masterless architecture. Unlike other backup tools that require a controller server and media server setup, Rubrik eliminates the need to purchase additional hardware, making deployment more straightforward with a single console. Rubrik's SaaS support allows for easy deployment of on-premises and cloud backups. Compared to other backup solutions, Rubrik has a more console-based approach, which means Rubrik's backend team supports significant issues. I also find that Rubrik offers cost savings compared to other vendors due to its bundled license, allowing you to do everything with one license.

One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape. Currently, this requires involving a third-party partner like QSR for backup integration. Additionally, Rubrik could improve security measures for Oracle database backups by enhancing Oracle database-level capabilities. It also offers limited capabilities for backup administrators to explore and analyze backup failures. I haven't had direct experience with it yet, but I believe Rubrik is working on incorporating AI into its data management capabilities. It's gaining traction in the market, especially in India, over the last few years. I can only provide more feedback once we assess its effectiveness in data security and overall performance compared to other tools like NetBackup and Commvault.

I have two years of experience using Rubrik.

I would rate stability around eight out of ten. Stability is uncertain because Rubrik is a relatively new product, having only been around for four years. So, I can't definitively say how stable it is. However, based on my experience, I haven't encountered any significant stability issues. Compared to other backup solutions like IBM Tivoli, which was known for its stability in the market, Rubrik is still establishing itself in terms of stability.

Rubrik is a scalable solution, rated around nine out of ten for scalability.

We submit a support request and promptly receive an email from the annual support team. Overall, I find the support satisfactory.

Previously, I've worked with multiple backup technologies, including NetBackup, EMC Avamar, Networker, and Commvault.

Rubrik's setup is relatively straightforward, rating around eight out of ten. The deployment method can be chosen based on your needs, supporting both on-premises and cloud deployments.Typically, the initial setup takes about two to four hours. In contrast, the entire backup setup duration varies depending on the organization's size and requirements, ranging from one week to a month.

Rubrik is fairly priced.

I can recommend Rubrik, but it depends on each user's specific needs and environment. Assessing your company's requirements and infrastructure is crucial before deciding on any product. Overall, I would rate Rubrik a nine out of ten.

We are working now on proof of concept to do backups to virtual environments. So, we deployed the solution to three customers in Spain and one or two in Mexico.

We wish to increase the automation to improve the data management tasks with Rubrik. We see the possibility to improve with AI and other types of technologies to be more flexible and productive in operations.

The flexibility and ease of use to do the backup. They don't use classic backup modes.

There is room for improvement in stability.

I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement.

We work with big customers. My company works with any type of customer, but I work with various customers. It's just banks and insurance companies. So, this solution has to have scalability and resiliency.

We have three to four customers.

I have experience with different solutions like Oracle, Veeam, andCommvault Cloud.

Right now, we are testing a solution for Kubernetes. We are trying to replace it, so we just don't know yet. I don't really know if Rubrik is a good solution for this. We are testing Velero (Open Source) or Kasten K10, and I don't know Rubrik's view for this type of technology.

It is easy to deploy. We have the infrastructure in the cloud and a data center on the premises. In all locations, we take a hybrid approach.

The return on investment depends. In our operations, we can see a 30% to 40% improvement. In the first two to three years, it's remarkable. However, monitoring at the case level can be challenging. In my experience, the combination of these benefits is really impactful.

In many cases, the customers I speak with want to have a one or three-year license. Because it's for backup, they need the ability to increase or replace the solution as they need. They want to have a monthly price to go with the use of the solution.

Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten. I recommend using it to other users.

The main purpose of utilizing the product is to maintain immutable backups, protecting our primary data from ransomware attacks. Additionally, it facilitates meeting our restore point objectives (RPO) and restore time objectives (RTO) by centralizing all restore activities through a single tool. This unified approach eliminates the need for disparate backups stored in various locations for different products.

Two of the product's most valuable features are its single-pane-of-glass interface for managing all backup and restore operations. It effectively enables us to meet our RPO and RTO objectives. Additionally, Rubrik's immutable backups ensure the safety of our data from corruption caused by ransomware attacks.

Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies, such as the inability to directly back up Snowflake databases. Additionally, they could improve the pricing.

I've been using Rubrik for approximately a year.

My experience with customer service and support was very good. They were available to help with both deployment and training.

Due to Rubrik's flexible deployment options, the initial setup was straightforward. It offers several deployment choices, including deploying it as a service or utilizing a dedicated appliance locally. Additionally, customizable deployment methods are available.

The technical team provided considerable support during implementation, greatly facilitating the process. We required approximately three competent individuals to manage both the deployment and maintenance.

While backup solutions tend to be expensive, Rubrik's pricing is even more expensive. However, there is room for improvement in pricing to make it more competitive.

The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee.

The product's protection against ransomware is a significant benefit.

I rate it an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for backups. We transitioned from Veeam to Rubrik, and we currently have on-premises backups for production and disaster recovery purposes. These backups are clustered between both sites, with 60 appliances used for backup operations.

Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data.

We have set up all the alerts for sensitive data. It's not exactly data governance fully, but it does help us to identify those data. The tool helps us to avoid vulnerabilities and any cyber protection issues. For example, if any antivirus or other security measures are on the system, Rubrik flags it immediately, indicating that a backup and an air gap are required. This ensures that no other backups would be impacted if there's an issue with one backup. Additionally, Rubrik comes with live monitoring capabilities, allowing its support team to identify and address any issues immediately.

The tool's most valuable features are the management of sensitive data, the air gap backup functionality, and the real-time monitoring capabilities. Additionally, the speed and reliability of the platform are also highly beneficial.

Instant recovery with Rubrik has significantly improved our RTOs. The process is much quicker than traditional backups, allowing us to restore backups with minimal downtime.

I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates.

On a scale of one to ten, I would rate the stability of Rubrik as a ten. It meets our requirements and has become our primary backup solution.

The solution is scalable.

We faced no significant challenges while integrating Rubrik with our IT infrastructure. Their support team was excellent and assisted in the deployment process. Even after deployment, their responsiveness to tickets was impressive, addressing any issues promptly.

I rate the product's deployment an eight out of ten.

I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten.

We found that Rubrik offered a comprehensive solution with a single appliance that met all our needs without requiring additional services or infrastructure. Other solutions often involved purchasing separate storage, servers, and proxy servers, which could be costly. In terms of cost, while Rubrik initially seemed more expensive, the overall cost was more favorable compared to the multiple components required by other solutions.

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.
