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

Backup is the new cool with Rubrik
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!
- Ransomware detection
- Immutable backups
- Hyper scale
- Better integration in AHV

Great M365 Backup solution
Our company uses Rubrik to backup our Microsoft 365 data. Rubrik has been a good partner for us because of their ability to backup and restore directories and files in all M365 systems: SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive, and Exchange Online. These systems are the most critical systems in our company, and if we were to suffer a data catastrophe, whether systems down or ransomware, we would be in a world of hurt. Rubrik provides us the peace of mind that our data is backed up and always available to us for those potential moments of extreme distress.
- Easy onboarding. We were able to make a connection to our M365 environment in less than 5 minutes, and backups were processing within just a couple minutes after that.
- Good customer service. From sales to post-implementation, the staff at Rubrik were helpful, professional, and focused on me.
- Set and forget. Outside of regular test restores, I don't have to worry about constantly trying to tweak settings within the Rubrik console to get it working better. It just works.
- Automated test restores. I would love to setup automated and random test restores on a regular basis where Rubrik's system will restore a random file or directory to a test SharePoint folder, send a full report, and provide a path to the folder for review and confirmation.

Excellent product. Excellent sales team. Top notch support and involving customers in the development process.
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.

Rubrik Provides Excellent Value and Feature Sets for Our Needs
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

Rubrik is all that and then some
We use Rubrik to backup our VM environment using snapshots, local backups are retained on-premises and in AWS. This provides quick restore options and prevents the loss of data as well as providing a quick way for us to restore should any issues occur. Rubrik also provides ransomware protection and checks for anomalies in the data thus providing us with 360 protection of our data.
- Quick and efficient snapshots
- Ransomware protection
- Data checks
- Secure containment of data
- Easier firmware upgrade process

You will not be disappointed!
We are using Rubrik for our entire server environment. We also use the archive feature as well as Polaris for PCI/PII monitoring. We love having read-only backups to restore from in case of any compromises. We use Polaris to make sure data is kept where it belongs and is not misused.
- Ease of backup.
- Ease of recovery.
- Ease of management.
- Not being able to backup Windows 10.
- Compression and deduplication could be improved.

Rubrik is worth a serious look.
Rubrik is used across our whole organization - all Servers physical (64bit) and VM (32 or 64 bit) We also use it for databases - MS SQL and Oracle. Rubrik solves the backup problem with backup windows and with Ransomware as it has an immutable store. Radar helps with efficiency of what to restore in case of an security event.
- Full server restore quickly in a VM environment.
- Data move4s with one is creating a new server or between drives with full security kept intact, especially for redirected my documents where even a DA does not have rights to the files.
- in VM world still does vmdk snapshots to minimize backup times.
- Uses the concept of SLA so one does not have to schedule all backups and have that headache.
- Immutable store.
- Very secure, and allows Archive to S3 cloud storage to offload repository size limitations.
- Migrating off 32 bit machines is tough, as the RBS does not have a 32 bit component. They should have one for some backwards capabilities to make migration off 32 bit machines a breeze.
- Needs to have the ability to restore to Windows SMB shares (UNC path and not hard dive letters) off a regular restore.
- Needs a few more options on restore, e.g. even if an restore error, to still continue or not option.
- Have a restore option to keep current security of take on security of the restore location.
- E-mail notification of when a restore is completed.
We use Rubrik for backup, archive, and retention of our entire VMware (Windows and Linux) environment, AIX environment, and limited physical environment. Additionally, we use Rubrik CDM for a few physical devices. We use Rubrik to protect the entire organization and have found it to be powerful and easy to use. Our previous backup solution was powerful but cumbersome and time-consuming to manage. Moving to Rubrik saved us close to a whole FTE's time allowing the IT Operations team to focus more on strategic initiatives that impact end user experiences.
- Simple - Rubrik CDM centralizes backups around SLA. Objects, like VMs, are assigned to SLAs and the backups happen according to the SLA schedule.
- Powerful - Rubrik CDM gives us the option to adjust backup frequency, retention, archival location (co-lo or cloud), and allows for legal-hold. Additionally, it supports all the platforms we need to backup.
- Flexible - The GUI interface gives us access to almost everything we would ever need and their API, and API-first design, allows scripting. Scripting opens up additional use-cases and meets unique requirements.
- Excellent Support - Rubrik's support is knowledgeable and has been easy to contact and get help from whenever we've need it.
- Cost - Rubrik is not the cheapest offering in the field. However, we've seen time-savings that more than cover the additional cost.
- Lack of AD-integration - At least as of yet, Rubrik doesn't support object-level Active Directory restores. Rubrik CMD does integrate with AD for authentication via LDAP, but does not tie-in for granular AD object restores.
- Some of the reports in Rubrik are difficult to consume. As such, it's cumbersome to see how much space is being consumed by some objects after dedup and compression.

Rubrik is being used to backup more than 50TB of information used by our organization. We utilize the cloud out option and retired tape and the results for backup recovery has been easier than ever. We backup multiple file types and use a NAS. It address the problem of backing up with ease and having multiple restore options and google like searches.
- Backing up VMs and Nutanix is easy to setup and process is just about the same across the board.
- Google like searches on NAS data which make searching for a file easy and painless.
- For SQL the option of just grabbing information you need and exporting out is useful.
- NAS backup speed would like to be faster.
- The ability to stop a backup schedule easier
- Need the abilty to change backups to occur on a specific date

Rubrik is a future focused backup solution
We use Rubrik in our labs for our support team to learn with. We also have customers that we manage that run Rubrik as well as we support Rubrik with customers we resell to. Our teams are constantly growing and additional members are being trained on it. We currently protect our labs and some production resources and leverage the cloud features and replication.
- It is very easy to manage and just does its job well. Very little break-fix.
- Stable and trustworthy - It just runs and we can feel confident our backups happen.
- Alerting and reporting with email as well as Polaris are excellent.
- Increased support for agent level items such as SharePoint, active directory, and exchange.
- Simpler recovery of exchange data.
- Managing multiple clusters through Polaris would be great to have.

We are currently using Rubrik to backup our virtual environment across the entire organization.
- From box to full setup: From the unboxing of the appliance to my first backup was about 1 hour!
- Easiness of use: We no longer need a "backup master" with the company, Rubrik makes it extremely easy to backup and restore your environment.
- "DR Like" - We have used Rubrik to mount copies of VMs for testing. So not only is Rubrik a great backup utility, but it also works great for DR testing.
- Active Directory Object backup
- The way the space consumption is shown in the console
- Be able to create multiple SLA policies for one VM

Rubrik is used across the whole University to backup all production services. Initially all data will be stored on-site within the Rubrik appliances, then a secondary copy will be sent to the cloud.
Our Rubrik system currently backs-up all our Windows Linux Operating Systems, which are physical, VMWare environment, and SQL Services. The Rubrik agent that is required to install locally on physical servers and SQL is very lightweight: the agent installation file size is only 14MB.
After the Rubrik appliances were racked and connected, it only took less than 2 hours to deploy Rubrik and also to configure the environment ready to start backing up data. The Rubrik appliances use Erasure Encoding for redundancy, and it also maintains itself, self heals, and optimises. Rubrik encrypts data at rest, in-flight and in archive. The Rubik interface does not require any fancy software installed or Java, it uses a standard browser that supports HTML. Rubrik fully supports APIs, there is a repository available for Rubrik customers to share their code.

- Rapid Recovery of VMs and SQL services -- recover a second and have it up and running within 30 seconds.
- Simplicity
- Reduced TCO costs over a 5 year period
- Reduction of maintenance - a previous backup system had several was installed on Windows Server which needed to be maintained and patched as well as the backup software. No tape library and no tapes.
- Uses HTML5
- Searching for data is an ease with Rubrik
- Currently does not backup active directory objects

Rock solid and simple
Rubrik is currently our primary Backup and Archiving solution. We use it to backup our entire IT infrastructure. It is connected to our vmware environment to backup VMs. We use it to protect our file shares and SQL database as well. We archive to AWS for long term protection. It gives us company wide protection for our server infrastructure
- Setup and connection to our systems was incredibly easy.
- Configuring protection was intuitive and simple. We had it protecting our environment in about 2 hours from opening the box.
- Restoring using live mount is absolutely amazing.
- I would like to have a specific Active Directory protection option.
