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.
  • Backup
  • Recovery
  • Secure backed-up data
  • Scan for malicious files and behaviour
  • Lack of white listings for false-positive findings
  • Support more open-source databases
  • Backup client OS
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.

We use Rubrik to protect all of our on-prem MSSQL, Oracle, and DB2 databases from Cyber and Ransomware attacks as well as test/dev refreshes. The instant recovery feature really saves us a lot of time and resources when a user simply needs to recover data from a single table since we are able to give them a point in time copy of the database within minutes versus trying to find a server with the right software versions and storage to do a full restore which might take hours.
  • It just works right out of the box. No customizations were needed to start using.
  • It protects several types of databases such as IBM DB2 that are not protected by competing products.
  • The Rubrik Support team is very knowledgeable and responsive to our issues.
  • There is not yet a point-click recovery of IBM DB2 databases through the GUI, so it would be nice to see this developed.
  • The RSC console is lacking a few features that were available in the local CDM consoles, but Rubrik is constantly improving the RSC since all future development and new features will be added.
  • The feature to Live-mount an Oracle database is challenging for various reasons, so there could be some improvement there.
We installed Rubrik and were able to start using it immediately without having to make any customizations or special tuning. We installed agents and backed up databases without any noticeable impact. Patches and upgrades have been applied without any issues.
Compared to the previous product we used, which we worked with for nearly two years tuning, upgrading, and more tuning just to try to get it working, and every patch broke it, sometimes taking days to resolve.
Rubrik has been a great partner and is adding new features and functionality, and their support team has been very knowledgeable and responsive.

We use Rubrik for server and 365 backup across the whole organization. It helped us save time as it doesn't need to be constantly micromanaged. It is also giving us the confidence that our data is completely protected and secure. Furthermore we know we can have immediate access to the data by leveraging technologies such as instant restore.
  • Easy to find your way around the GUI
  • Reliable
  • Easy to implement
  • Does its job without any unnecessary overhead in administration
  • A bit pricey
  • Cannot backup client OS
365 backups can be recovered into a selected person's OneDrive which saves time when recovering something for the ServiceDesk.

Rubrik is helping us to drastically improve our backup strategy. The best feature of Rubrik is making the backup window invisible. This is great because in an international context like our, we do not see any maintenance window when operating around the clock. So Rubrik will decide when this is best to do start backup jobs based on its own analysis and the SLA that we impose on the system.

Another great advantage of using Rubrik is the massive savings in terms of storage. The file system is so advanced that savings are huge.
  • Storage savings using dedupe, compression and erasure coding
  • Define SLA to have backup jobs started, no time need to be defined
  • Scale out capabilities
  • 10 GE is mandatory, I think in some environment 1 Gbps could be used
  • Entry ticket is high, but once you growth, it is reduced
  • Lack of end user laptop support (officially)
Rubrik works very well in virtualized environments. They are starting to hit the physical world too. I have tested their connector on physical hosts and this is very promising. I'm actually looking forward to deploying such connectors on a larger laptop park. It would be nice to have the ability to backup endusers machine on-prem and get rid of Druva.

We use Rubrik to backup our on-prem environment which consists of a purely virtualized VMware environment onto a Rubrik appliance. These backups are replicated to a DR location with another physical appliance. We also use Rubrik Cloud backups to backup our Azure DevOps environment and our Microsoft 365 data including user accounts and SharePoint online.
  • Backup and Restore of Virtual Machines
  • Ease of use
  • Microsoft 365 Backups
  • Replication of backups
  • Status reporting
  • Restore process for Microsoft 365 data could be better
Rubrik is great at backing up and restoring Virtual Machines in a VMware environment. The process works easily and pretty much without failure. The live mount process works well to get a VM back up and running quickly and then migrating it back to the production environment. The replication process to replicate the backups offsite to our secondary Rubrik appliance also works great. The backup of Microsoft 365 data seems to work great, but the restore process has some room for improvement.

We use Rubrik to back up our entire systems. We backup our physical servers and VMs which is about 30TB of data. We also use the ransomware detection software in Rubrik to look for any abnormalities constantly. We appreciate the ZeroTrust policy so we know that no changes can be made by a single user or accidentally. Having Rubrik give us an all around piece of mind.
  • Bare Metal Backups
  • Ransomware Investigation
  • Support is amazing and fast response
  • File Anomaly Detection
  • So far, haven't ran into any issues
Rubrik has provided an all-encompassing backup solution for our organization. It has help us catch potential threats with the automatic file anomaly detection. Their level of support as been fast and very helpful. We haven't had Rubrik very long but we have been very happy with the seamless integration and support!

This is being used across all of our organization. This addresses the need that we had for a scalable backup product that sits in our data center. We also wanted it to be able to tier to cloud. We appreciate the API’s and will be using that further in the future.
  • Scale out.
  • Modern.
  • Integration through API.
  • Young company.
  • The UI could use a bit more work.
  • Terminology needs to be simplified for end users.
We really like the use in the VMware environment. We can trust that all VM’s will be backed up with at least the minimum policy. We also can adjust that policy to give the critical business functions higher importance and priority. Since they are fairly new, not all features are fully baked. Oracle has a way to go before it would be best on market.

We primarily use Rubrik to back up SQL environments in Azure and VMware in our data center. The Native Azure backup was not giving us the capabilities we needed for our MS SQL and we were not happy with our legacy on-prem backup solution. After we implemented Rubrik we were able to configure Rback controls and allow the users to manage their backups and restores without the involvement of the corporate IT department
  • Policy based configuration
  • zero trust architecture
  • Role based security
  • Cyber Recovery
  • maybe some tweaking on the GUI
I like it for almost all scenarios but we like the backup integration with VMware.

Rubrik is used to protect all of our critical data on-prem and in the cloud. The platform gives us confidence in our data protection and recoverability. We are a long term customer an have found the platform to be reliable and intuitive. The product ticks all of our boxes for data protection and Rubrik are continually improving the product.
  • Fast Backups
  • Fast Restores
  • Great Support Teams
  • Improve search functionality
  • Option to spread load during an SLA window
  • Launch on cloud improvements
The product ease of use and has comprehensive data protection from a range of sources and top notch support teams. Integration with things like Oracle and SQL databases is great, and has the ability to restore, clone or export to any point in time of the SLA. Also, being able to archive backup data to the cloud, with specific retention periods is a nice feature.

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.
  • Standard backups of a variety of workloads
  • Suspicious activity detection
  • Support
  • Multiple site backup locations
  • Initial sizing of the product
  • Helping customer understand how Rubrik treats growth rates
  • Could be easier to clear up 'relic' data
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.

We use Rubrik to protect all our virtualization systems, Azure VMs, Azure SQL, and M365 data. We are using Radar and Sonar for data security and ransomware protection through threat hunting and anomaly detection. We hope to soon start working with app flows to assist with our disaster recovery plans too.
  • Simplicity. Sometimes it can be hard to make a system simple to use but Rubrik is.
  • Speed of backup and recovery is excellent.
  • Engagement from Rubrik with us has been superb.
  • Id like to see Storage Account protection included in Polaris
  • A clear indication of files that have been deleted in a time range would be handy when performing file-level restores.
  • Automated backup validations would be a nice built-in feature, currently, this is a manual process for us.
Rubrik is well suited for enterprise-size organizations, I don't think it would be suited to small businesses. This is a personal opinion as I work in an enterprise-scale organization and it works well for us. If you have to buy Briks I am not sure the same could be said for smaller-scale operations.

Rubrik is being used organization-wide. It helps us with backup deliverables for our critical and major systems. It is also used for disaster recovery for our virtual machine servers. Knowing that we are secure, and have a backup, makes us sleep better at night. The company is going through a digital transformation. We are transitioning from the typical tape method to doing backups with Rubrik and archiving it to the cloud thru AWS.
  • Fast recovery.
  • Compression algorithms.
  • Backup recovery.
  • Fast mount point for virtual machines.
  • Quick integration with AWS.
  • Monitoring.
  • GUI design and functionality.
  • Solaris backup.
  • Longer SLA retention rather than just 999 days.
It is a well-curated technology that caters to the needs of some industries and companies who are looking for an easy to use, understandable and manageable platform. It is well suited for almost any industry. Support is fast and the customer relationship is great. The level of support and troubleshooting are the best.

This product is used across our entire enterprise. We were able to consolidate down to this one product and remove a handful of others to deal with just the one vendor. Being able to standardize on Rubrik allowed us to successfully manage a large, geographically diverse company from one location and with less personnel overall.
  • VMware backups are done really well and super efficiently.
  • The general ease of installation of the entire product.
  • The APIs could be a little easier to exploit.
  • The interface could use a little work.
  • As they move to the Cloud, some support options are a little lacking
VMware environments would be a great fit for Rubrik. They have now also branched out into Acropolis, Hyper-V, and managing AWS backups as well. This product could be used in a lot of types of environments, from small to Enterprise, as they have a footprint to fit all of those and everything in between.

We’re using Rubrik to eradicate tapes from our environment backing up NAS, VMware, HyperV, and Nutanix. It’s a central IT service for all infrastructure provided to our business. It brings a rapid restore capability compared to tape which took days to get back and that’s just the tape let alone the restore process.
  • Instant recovery
  • Cloud out technology
  • Backs up everything we have needed to!

  • Immutable backups

We primarily purchased this for Backup and Disaster recovery, however we now use this for backing up cloud items and ransomware and sensitive data discovery. We are able to focus resource on other tasks due to the simplicity of administering the product.
  • Back up of cloud vendor support
  • Dashboard information
  • Backup SLA simplicity
  • RSC can get out of sync sometimes.
Rubrik has great support for most backup scenarios on premise and cloud, and if you are a small team with big infrastructure then I think this fits perfectly, there aren't many areas where you can really be complex which may not be for everyone if you have some really specific needs.

We started off using rubrik to backup our on-site estate. Utilising Cloud on for offsite DR in Azure
We then bought licenses for products called Radar and Sonar at the time.
We soon started using Rubrik Polaris for backing up other targets like the data in 365, suck as Mail, Onedrive,Teams,Sharepoint
We also trialed and purchased azure native backup.
  • Simple to setup and configure
  • Easy to Monitor and Maintain
  • Recovery quick and simple
  • Some Sharepoint folders are protected making it difficult to recover over the top
  • Activity feed and progress of recovery not always clear
It’s a product that works well. Once they have a backup set then the analysis available on near live data means it can be done without detriment to live services. This can be in searching for potential security events to searching for secure strings such as passport or bank card numbers. Alowwing for appropriate action to take place.

Rubrik is a backup and data security product. We use it for exactly those purposes. servers, databases, local and remote resources. we wanted something that's intuitive, just works, and has excellent support. We backup SQL databases, SAP HANA, VMware and Hyper-V VMs and Active Directory.
  • Backs up hypervisor VMs such as VMware as well as live mount backups without having to do full restores
  • Backs up SQL databases at very fine granularity including tlog backups. it also handles SQL DAGs very well.
  • Backs up SAP HANA using centralized management and integrates with BackInt
  • Ransomware detection such as detecting large numbers of file changes or deletions in folders, finding malware based on hashes and rules, and giving you point in time recovery
  • Sensitive data discovery such as HIPAA, PII, banking info, etc so we know what folders and files need permissions changes
  • Rubrik's support model is the best. you can call or email or open a ticket in the portal. they are fast to respond, patient and very knowledable. their product and support portal provide lots of pertinent tips and detailed explanations.
  • Reporting is good but could be better, particularly real time in the UI. They need more ability to sort and filter beyond what they already have.
  • SQL restores have lots of options but not restoring as a .bak file
  • they have Active Directory restore procedures but I'd like to see that functionality built into the UI instead of partially using an outside tool.
We use it to support multiple hypervisors, multiple database types, multiple locations and it does great in all of them. They are perfect for a company with lots of data types. We back up in small locations and large and replication works between them. They are my favorite product we use because I don't have to spend nearly as much time as I have with other backup products and their support is the best when needed. They don't have a wide range of integrated SAN snapshot support if that is something you need.

We don't have a complex need for our backups just a couple of SLA requirements based on departments for length of time for retention, a DR replication and Cloud archival to hold the extended data. We primary function off snapshots for our mainly virtual environment with some CIFS shares for unstructured data.
We decided on Rubrik since we needed a replacement system to bring us speed for restoration of backups, cloud tier options, and native snapshot backups for both VMware and Nutanix AHV VMs. Our final phase is to migrate our SQL backups to a more modern method to allow the system to manage the truncation and log replays to simplify restorations of SQL servers.
The immutability function and constant monitoring of our snapshots for irregularities makes Rubrik the right choice
  • Simplification of the backup process
  • Clutter free interfaces which makes
  • Security features requiring MFA for logins and two person immutability features
  • Full integration with Nutanix AHV storage to allow Live Mounting
  • M365 Integration to allow for separate SLAs for each component
  • Reporting and creation of custom Reports
  • Orchestrated Recovery is not available for Nutanix AHV yet
  • Threat Hunt Investigations in YARA rules are difficult to find documentation on how to write.
  • Data Protection All "Search Across Rubrik" doesn't encompass files/folder you have to specify the brick to search for that to restore.
The speed of restoring data and simplicity to kick that off is hands down the best. The intuitive nature of the system to recognize a missing VM and to auto flag it as a relic to reduce log clutter and distractions. I honestly don't look at it often due to the stability of the system.

Where its less suited would be the full feature set is only for VMware, with the recent approval from Nutanix as a partner there have been a lot of growth adding function for AHV VMs. Custom reporting doesn't seem to be as feature rich as other processes along with the YARA rules coding for threat hunting.

Having used other backup products from other vendors, I was pleasantly surprised just how easy Rubrik is to install, use and support.
It works fantastically well when paired with VMWare vCenter, but also has an agent that can be used for backup independently of VMWare.
  • Easy to install
  • Comprehensive OS coverage
  • Very simple and fast to restore VMs from backup
  • Would like support for more 3rd party products - doesn't currently support MaxDB
  • Would like support for Sybase
  • Great documentation, however, would like to see more
Rubrik is ideally suited to a VMWare environment, where it excels.
Agent based backups also work really well, however, I would like to see additional support options around less mainstream DBs like Sybase and MaxDB.

Rubrik solved 2 issues for our firm, the first being removing the reliance on tape backup infrastructure and the second allowing us to set up long-term archiving to the cloud for monthly backups.
  • Ransomware detection & protection
  • User-friendly interface
  • Pivots well from on premise to Cloud
  • Remove the need for local snapshot on the appliance while the backup job is still active on schedule
Pivots extremely well as we migrate from on-prem to the cloud. Rubrik is able to provide and manage the data and reallocate licensing to keep the investment active.
