Rubrik is the primary backup product we use. It is currently used to backup our virtual infrastructure running on VMWare. Our backup is stored on Rubrik Briks and also archived to S3 Storage. Overall the product is rock solid with great features. Other than our primary backup solution this is also major part of our DR Recovery plan. In case of disaster we can restore our VMs to AWS using Rubrik Cluster on AWS.
  • Direct Live backup of VMs using Native snapshot technology
  • Cloud Integration for Archiving of Data
  • Instant restore of VM using live mount on Rubrik Flash Storage
  • 0 day local retention of VMs. It keeps atleast one copy of VM on local brik
  • No way to assign a specific encryption key for a specific VM
  • Some Disk Consolidation and Deduplication issues.
It is perfect for taking backups of Virtualized environments. While it supports taking file share backups the process is not as intuitive as VM level backups. Legacy Systems: If your organization heavily relies on legacy systems that are not virtualized or cloud ready, Rubrik's strengths in modern IT environments may not be fully realized.

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!

We are using Rubrik to backup VMWare, Hyper-V, and remote office data. We are also using it to replicate our backups offsite to a remote location. It has allowed us to merge our backup products down and still get the same level of data backup.
  • Quick and easy recovery
  • Ease of use and administration
  • Cloud integrations (AWS, Azure)
  • Fantastic support
  • Currently, it has limited Bare Metal restore options.
  • GUI could use a redesign to incorporate some features better.
  • Better reporting functions.
Rubrik is well suited for any business that is running physical or virtual servers and want them backed up in an easy way. It provides features for enterprise customers that can be used in the small/medium business market. They are continuing to evolve the product portfolio with O365 backup, data classification, and more.

We are using the Rubrik fabric to backup and restore as needed enterprise-wide and into the cloud. There are limits to the cloud integration but overall nothing works like Rubrik. I set up the product and pretty much do not touch it again until I need to.
  • Database Backup and Restoration on the Rubik Box
  • Google-like searching no matter where your targets are
  • Calling support is better than calling 911. Help comes much faster and everyone is a native English speaker
  • Bare Metal Restoration
  • Work within OpenStack Cloud
Any place where a cloud out or cloud on strategy is required. I would replace any current backup solution with this product and in any place data encryption at rest is required. Data compression is second to none.

Rubrik is being phased in to replace the current legacy tape backup system. The solution will backup all workloads including, NAS, VMWare, HyperV, Nutanix AHV & SQL. The legacy backup solution could not backup Nutanix AHV which is the current hypervisor of choice. By using Rubrik we have managed to bring backup times down from 23 hours to 30 mins.
  • Incremental forever
  • Backs up Nutanix AHV nativ3ly
  • Direct to cloud for backup.
  • RBAC needs some work
  • NAS backup is stil complicated
  • No bare metal support
Simple solution to implement. From box being delivered to backups occurring was a matter of days. The Rubrik product is very intuitive and allows us to focus on more than just 'will the backup finish before the next one starts'
We can now set an SLA and be worry free that the job will run with no complications.

Rubrik is being used by our Engineering Department and we sell, design, implement and support it with our customers.
  • Fastest time to Market - literally takes minutes to install and setup (assuming your prerequisites are met)
  • A high rate of innovation - Rubrik has a very fast release cycle, new features come out regularly
  • Amazing support - very high NPS score, these guys care about their customers
  • New to the market - but these guys are just getting started
  • No support for non-x86 workloads
Perfect for x86 bare-metal, virtualized and cloud use-cases.

Rubrk is a Backup and recovery software. It solves backing up our virtual infrastructure backup, SQL and Fileset backup for our current organization.

It provides great analytics of the data it protects. We have this deployment across the globe, with different variants of Rubrik implementation. Provides real time protection details across the globe.
  • It protects virtual infrastructure really well with a VSS consistent backup. The always on incremental protects the data seamlessly. We know when we want a full backup , however Rubrik decides when it should do a full backup based on various algorithms.
  • The SQL backup is an awesome feature witha live mount feature to read database without a restore in a quick and efficient manner
  • The NAS backup is another amazing feature that could be used to bring back the data seamlessly from cloud or on premises
  • Cloud On feature which solves our DR requirement in cloud is an amazing feature which solves a business use case to migrate an IT environment to the cloud faster
  • Bare metal recovery is not great. Rubrik should have an option to to help protect our physical infrastructure
  • Sharepoint, Oracle capability is still at par. Need to be availble sooner
  • The Nodes break often with the features on upgrades. Rubrik should be more careful when releasing patches.
For Any Virtual infrastructure this is a great product with a minimal presence of application.

Rubrik supports all VMs from VMWare, Hyper-v, Nutanix vm's. It also supports Linux Oracle backup (RmAN), Windows SQL servers and Sharepoint database based on single object recovery with Kroll. Our DR in the cloud is being evaluated with Rubrik as the product.
