Easy 365 Backup service

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Rubrik seclusively for our 365 backups. We need an archive of current and formal users for OneDrive, Email and SharePoint/Teams.

Pros

  • Extremely easy deployment
  • Fast restores
  • Excellent Sales staff

Cons

  • I can't think of anything given our limited scope at this time

Likelihood to Recommend

We have a fairly small technical staff, so ease of deployment, use and maintenance are critical. I receive daily emails with backup status that takes me a minute a day to review.

Rubrik, a solid data protection product for med to large organizations

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My organization switched from Quest Rapid Recovery to Rubrik for data protection for onsite and offsite storage 3 years ago. The main reason for switching was we needed a next generation backup and recovery product that can backup and recover data fast with convenience. Rubrik has exceeded our expectations.

Pros

  • immutable data protection
  • fast backup and recovery
  • offers various ways to recover data
  • offers sensitive data discovery
  • offers ransomware/encrypted date detection

Cons

  • RSC management UI can use some improvements. Some features are difficult to find.
  • wish there was a chat option with their Tech support
  • wish it supported cross hypervisor VM recovery

Likelihood to Recommend

Rubrik is a top product at current time for data protection at file, db, system level. It supports quick recovery and site to site replication.

Rubrik Review

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Rubrik to backup all of our M365 mailboxes to help with data loss prevention and to retain sensitive data to meet any legal requirements. Business problems would be if someone who was leaving the company deleted their data, we would be able to retrieve from backup the data they deleted.

Pros

  • Backup
  • Ease of Use
  • Restore

Cons

  • ability to restore to pst
  • quarterly follow ups

Likelihood to Recommend

Rubrik is well suited for quick backup and restore. We had an experience where we thought a user deleted all of their email before they left and we decided that it was good to implement a backup solution like Rubrik where we can ensure this does not happen. It is also nice to be able to create different policies for more frequent backups for the leadership team.

Pros

  • Backing up the data
  • allows control over that datda
  • security

Cons

  • The cost is high
  • Their helpdesk is sufficient but sometimes slow to respond
  • Right sizing may be off always go bigger

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for backing up and storing data. With a less expensive platform they would attract more smaller companies.

Backup with ease and innovation

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Rubrik products for about 5 years now to backup our critical assets. We are highly virtualized and mostly backup VMs. We first implemented Rubrik CDM completely on-premise and switched to Rubrik Security Cloud (RSC) in 2023.

Backup data is still on-premise, but due to the metadata being analyzed by RSC, this enables us to fully scan our backups for viruses, worms and ransomware without affecting the performance of the production systems.

RSC also learns what is a normal behaviour of a server (in terms of how many files change, are added, deleted, etc.) and informs the user on malicious behaviour. Additionally the user is able to define his own rules (e.g. YARA rules, hashes, regex) to hunt for specific threats.Sensitive, unencrypted data can also be automatically discovered (like customer or payment data). Also customizable by the user.

Besides VMs, Rubrik can backup nearly every critical asset, like physical servers, databases, network shares, cloud ressources and lots more.

Though Rubrik offers a lot of features implemetation and administration is an easy task. UIs are intuitive and there are many assistants guiding the user through the tasks.

Due to the intuitive UI, I was able to teach other colleagues how to use RSC in no time and keeping it up-to-date is also very convenient.

Pros

  • Backup
  • Recovery
  • Secure backed-up data
  • Scan for malicious files and behaviour

Cons

  • Lack of white listings for false-positive findings
  • Support more open-source databases
  • Backup client OS

Likelihood to Recommend

Rubrik is clearly made for protecting enterprises at ease. I never used a backup product before, that is so intuitive and demands such less administration. It just works! It is really feature rich and innovative. The only downside could be pricing, so it may not be suitable for small companies. Pricing is mostly dependent on the amount of data to protect.

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

We use Rubrik to ensure continuity of backups, the vulnerability scanning, threat detection and ability to scan for suspicious files and activity helps us in being confident our data is secure against external threats and the potential of being held to ransom.

Pros

  • Standard backups of a variety of workloads
  • Suspicious activity detection
  • Support
  • Multiple site backup locations

Cons

  • Initial sizing of the product
  • Helping customer understand how Rubrik treats growth rates
  • Could be easier to clear up 'relic' data

Likelihood to Recommend

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.
