(1-25 of 73)Backup with ease and innovation
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 just works...
- 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.
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.
Rubrik Review
- 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
Amazing simplicity
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)
Peace of mind with Rubrik
- 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

- maybe some tweaking on the GUI
Rubrik Enables Confidence In Data Protection And Recoverability

- Support
- Multiple site backup locations
- Initial sizing of the product
- Helping customer understand how Rubrik treats growth rates

Rubrik from a users perspective
- 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 has simplicity in its complexity
- Fast recovery.
- Compression algorithms.
- Backup recovery.
- Fast mount point for virtual machines.
- Quick integration with AWS.
- Monitoring.

Rubrik makes the Backup Blues go away
- 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
Backup is the new cool with Rubrik
- Instant recovery
- Cloud out technology
- Backs up everything we have needed to!
- Ransomware detection
- Immutable backups
- Hyper scale
- Better integration in AHV
Just a great product

Rubrik protects and Secures!
We then bought licenses for products called Radar and Sonar at the time.
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
Excellent product. Excellent sales team. Top notch support and involving customers in the development process.
- 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.
The last backup solution you will ever buy
- 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.

Rubrik CDM
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

- 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
