Review of Rubrik based on business implementation.
Well, the software is the same in all. But what Rubrik offers is way better and different from these products. There are a lot of options and capability features which are offered by Rubrik such as Live recovery which we have implemented recently on a NAS share and it has turned out to be very useful for us to recover files on the share.

Rubrik Review
Based upon company needs Rubrik fit the matrix for our needs the best.
November 24, 2021
Rubrik is all that and then some
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Rubrik is very seamless and is super easy to connect to a VM environment. I find it is easier to configure and maintain than Veeam. One of the main reasons we selected Rubrik was the ease of deployment and the added ransomware protection. Ransomware attacks are on the rise especially with government and educational institutions in our state. It is important for us to safeguard our data and to be proactive instead of reactive.

Rubrik: Solid 10+ Recommend!
- System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM)
DPM was complex to set up. We then switched to ABS which was an easier version of DPM but still had challenges. We were able to switch to Rubrik and had consistency, speed, and less management.

Rubrik is the Best Backup Solution
We moved from Backup Exec to Rubrik and never looked back. The deduplication features are outstanding in being able to spin up a VM on the system to check for something on a backup and move it to the production server is not something I had seen before. Rubrik brought us additional functionality and it was easier to use.

Rubrik Backup and Recovery
Rubrik was able to address all the backup needs of the County and provide a value add in Ransomware protection for our backups at the same or lower price point.

Rubrik is the answer to your backup problems
I have used Veeam for longer than the other solutions so I am familiar with the interfaces, scheduling, targets and recovery. Rubrik offers the same protection with less tweaking with better performance. For Zerto, it was a close competitor for everything we were looking for, but the hosting solution we had chosen made the solution the wrong choice for us. We very often had failed backups, got calls in the middle of the night for backup jobs not working and it seemed to have an easy runbook for failover but we could never get it working right. Unitrends and SnapVault were some of the worst we tried with compatibility and performance being high on the list.

Rubrik does it what says on the tin.
- PowerProtect DD (formerly Dell EMC Data Domain) and Unitrends Data Center Backup and Recovery
Faster backup, higher deduplication rates, quicker development and much quicker support. UI miles better than either contender and easy to use for superusers of backup and restore. Backup and DR should be simple and easy to use and not convoluted and error riddled.

Rubrik is the best insurance against Ransomware
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Rubrik was by far the easiest to set up and use and most simple solution we tested.
August 24, 2021
Rubrik is the standard of business protection
- Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery, Veritas Backup Exec, PowerProtect DD (formerly Dell EMC Data Domain), FalconStor NSS, Dell EMC Avamar, Dell EMC Networker, Veeam Backup & Replication and Actifio Enterprise
Rubrik was the easiest to install and configure for our environment. The all in one solution has built in safeguards, so if part of the system fails you are not left without a backup solution. The system is robust and easy to upgrade or increase in size. The system requires very little day to day attention and integrates with ServiceNow.

Simplify your work life with Rubrik
- Dell EMC Avamar and Veeam Backup & Replication
We evaluated Veeam Backup & Replication and Dell EMC Avamar for our refresh, and we were using Dell EMC Avamar beforehand for 5 years. There were certain components (such as lack of hardware) with Veeam Backup & Replication (we would have had to purchase a separate storage solution) that led us away from that option. I had a lot of experience with Dell EMC Avamar beforehand and Rubrik won out easily for me.
There were a few things that set Rubrik apart - Ransomware detection, SSO integration, global search functionality, operation and GUI, etc. - but personally, the one thing that led me to want to change is the support offered by Rubrik. Having spent years fighting with Dell EMC Avamar support (long times between inputting a service call to getting an engineer, almost always getting an engineer that works hours that were the polar opposite of mine, etc.) I was ready to try a solution that would work for me not only when everything was going well, but also when things are going badly. I've put in several support tickets to Rubrik and their response is always fast and they always get me going again. Additionally, it was always nearly a month-long ordeal to get software upgrades installed for the Dell EMC Avamar, going through multiple teams and departments. With Rubrik, it's as simple as putting in an incident and an engineer performing the update.

Rubrik is a good backup solution for today's needs
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Veeam PoC was great, until we needed proper support, and that was a huge disappointment. Rubrik support on the other hand is much quicker and professional.
August 24, 2021
You get what you pay for!
- Veeam Backup & Replication
Rubrik is far superior. Veeam is a great product, but Rubrik is much easier to manage and deploy and has a much higher backup success rate and far fewer time to remediate failures.
August 24, 2021
Great product if you know how to use everything. Need better assistance with product features.
Rubrik replaced netback up a much more static and archaic data backup system. Rubrik did improve our environment, and as a person who inherited the role of data management, there were some learning curves. In some cases for a new user, there are so many bells and whistles the interface can be overwhelming or vague in functionality.
August 24, 2021
You will not be disappointed!
Rubrik is far easier to use. It is less expensive. It doesn't make use of space as efficiently as EMC Avamar did. Integration was simple and use/management is easy and straightforward.

Rubrik review
- Dell EMC Avamar and Veeam Backup & Replication
Rubrik is much easier to implement and deploy than Avamar, and provides better protection from rouge actors than both Veeam and Avamar.
August 23, 2021
Rubrik is worth a serious look.
Rubrik brings Immutable store and less work for a backup administrator.
TSM had one interesting feature as part of a backup you could say also archive/delete say .mov files as they should not be in your staff's my documents to help clean up filer storage.
Rubrik works best in virtual spaces and cloud spaces.

Rubrik: simpler and more robust than the cube!
- PowerProtect DD (formerly Dell EMC Data Domain)
The main difference is that Rubrik was conceived and designed with immutability by default.
Rubrik has provided much more simplified licensing. Rubrik has provided a much more succinct, relevant, and useful console. Rubrik's console allows easy searching within backups for files/objects. Rubrik was much easier overall to deploy and get working to its fullest capabilities and feature sets.
We evaluated solutions from Veeam, Dell, CommVault, Exagrid, and Cohesity and found Rubrik to have the greatest ease of use and all the security features we needed as necessary for a modern solution. Additionally, Rubrik was very competitive in pricing.

Rubrik is expensive, but well worth the price!!
Networker never did work right for us, but Rubrik was a quick deployment. Avamar was both complex and unreliable. Often backups were corrupt, and would take hours to restore. Everyone on our team knows how to use Rubrik with little training, and the backups usually complete within minutes of starting. The only exception to this is when restoring from an archived backup.

Rubrik - The Easy Button of Backups
- Commvault Complete Backup & Recovery
Rubrik is so much less complicated, yet so robust.

Rubrik makes the Backup Blues go away
- Avamar
Rubrik crushed Avamar in a side-by-side comparison. Out of the box, Rubrik was up and running quicker, absorbing backups faster and integrating with VMware much better than Avamar. We had faults with Avamar backing up SQL servers that did not happen with Rubrik. Overall, Rubrik beat Avamar in every test we performed. We have also removed Symantec NetBackup, BackupExec, CommVault and other backup products from our environment and expanded the use of Rubrik to remote sites.
