Amazing simplicity
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)

- positive impact is : everybody wants to have his workload on Rubrik
- negative impact : the cluster became full very quickly, victim of his success
- Veeam Backup & Replication
At the time we became customer (in 2017), Rubrik was the only one supporting Nutanix AHV and the only one proposing SLA-style protection of objects. What we still love about Rubrik against veeam is the fact that Rubrik is coming as a full turnkey solution with storage included directly in the product. veeam is still a virtual appliance and you have to provide it with some sort of storage.

In our company, we have various profiles, but the team managing the Rubrik clusters are mostly infrastructure manager and data security administrator. Our company is widely spread over 3 continents but the team who is managing the infrastructure is very small and not in each and every locations. Rubrik is helping with its simplicity to have everything smooth.

Not much skills. Rubrik is so simple, you just need some practical hands-on and you are good to go. Of course, to be very specialized, you can follow training but in most cases this is not required. If you know what a VM is and what a snapshot is, you can already be very efficient ! I would say that half a day training/on-job coaching is most of the time enough.
- Backup window does not exists anymore - SLA driven
- Backup of the Nutanix clusters in just a few click
- Data archiving and long term retention
- Tape backups are gone once for all
- The fact that they were the first vendor supporting Nutanix AHV
- Storage saving is impressive
- Speed of recovery is unprecedented
- To replicate data between datacenters ensuring we have off-site data retention
- The cloud aspect : easily backup AWS or GCP workloads . We are starting to deploy these protection.
- We are looking at using Rubrik for Disaster recovery. Cross datacenter backups
Yes
When we decided to look at the backup chain, we realized that we were using more than 7 different tools. Rubrik changed our life once for all. We are now using one single easy to use, performant platform.
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Nutanix AHV support and the backup window management. We are operating in follow the sun mode and we did not want to schedule any backup jobs. Rubrik solved that using SLAs.
I think we did a good job in the product selection, using fair scoring methodology, Rubrik won immediately when we discovered the SLA philosophy which completely fits our requirements.
- Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
Rubrik can easily be implemented in any environments. You just need to open the relevant firewall ports so Rubrik can query the relevant platforms (hypervisors, physical servers, ...). This is not disrupting the production at all and you are quickly up and running. My record on a new deployment was 15 minutes from the power on to the first ingested snapshot.
- once, I was not able to reach the IPv6 of the brik.
- Online Training
I don't know Rubrik had premium support. Not sure this is what we have, I have the feeling that what I'm getting now is already premium quality.
Yes
Depending of the type of bug yes, this is well treated. If not deployed with the next release, it happens to have a in-between release engineering fix. It happened once.
I had an issue with the AWS EC2 workload indexing. The support engineer was not able to assist me directly but he called somebody from the engineering team at the Rubrik HQ who joined us in the Zoom call and solved my issue directly without waiting for another shift. This is what I call exceptional support and I was not used to it.
- The monitoring menu showing what's going on in the system
- the various dashboard
- the API stack is incredible
- the software upgrade used to be complex (it has changed since 5.3)
- I regret that the backup verification does not have a UI at this time. API only
No

Data Integrity Simplified
Rubrik is used as the primary data protection solution.
- Rubrik simplifies protection of assets and data across the estate, making it easy to protect VMs, SAN, database and OS/file level information.
- The search function from the very front page makes it very easy to identify data for restore. That ease of use becomes the standard across the entirety of the restoration process - quick and pain free.
- RBAC access is industry standard in data protection application and it's not different here - again very easy to set up with depth and granularity for those that require it.
- Automation of restores should be available from the GUI - at present one must configure scripts to interface with the APIs
100%

- This is the least amount of time I have spent managing backups. The efficiency and reliability mean I spend my time looking at other things.
- Veritas Backup Exec, CommVault, AppAssure and Veeam Backup & Replication
With the exception of Backup Exec's GRT I rate all features of Rubrik above the competitors i have used. To restore single mail items one must mount the volume/DB into a Kroll server (License provided on request from Rubrik)

A general knowledge of backup and recovery and a decent knowledge of the products in the estate being supported and protected
- Data protection
- Fast RTO
- East of maintenance
- We've used it recently to spin up copies of both VMs and databases to run alongside the original and prove the safety/concept of a particular change.
- I used the replication and live mount to bring a VM to a different datacenter with about 10 minutes downtime for that service.
- Category/Folder level backup for AHV
- Live mount for AHV
Yes
Veeam, Backup Exec.
Both end of life and from different mergers - we needed to consolidate.

Rubrik came and helped us plug it in.
Further 'Brik' installs will just need network config and will then integrate themselves into the cluster.
