Product Details
What is Rubrik?
Rubrik is cloud data management and enterprise backup software provided by Palo Alto-based Rubrik, Inc. It is a software platform that provides backup, instant recovery, archival, search, analytics, compliance, and copy data management in one secure fabric across data centers and clouds.
Its software is also designed to be vendor-agnostic, and supports the most commonly used operating systems, databases, hypervisors, clouds, and SaaS applications. And while you can utilize Rubrik’s software completely on the cloud, Rubrik also integrates with on-premises hardware, and even provides their own proprietary Rubrik appliances.
Key Features
Policy-driven
Rubrik functions through a single policy engine that orchestrates service level
agreements (SLAs) across the data lifecycle. Management is automated across
hybrid and multi-cloud environments with one programmatic interface.
Analytics & Reporting
Rubrik’s software creates customized reports and data visualizations for user’s
platforms on operational efficiency, compliance, and capacity utilization.
Security & Compliance
Data stored and backed up through Rubrik is secured in-transit and at-rest
throughout its lifecycle, regardless of location. Rubrik delivers granular
role-based access control while automating compliance reporting to complete
various industry and internal audits. Users can quickly recover from ransomware
through immutable backups native to the platform.

Rubrik review
- Interface.
- Speed.
- Configuration.
- Lacks full control over snapshot schedules.
- Restore SQL to a different server.
Rubrik is worth a serious look.
- 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.
