Overall Satisfaction with Rubrik

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.
  • So far we are seeing positivity. The Rubrik deployment is doing great in all our locations.
  • Negative Impact is our Cloud Recovery is getting broken often due to the upgrades.
Both theese Products where great. However Rubrik is a next generation solution with a great dashboard and great performance across the board.

The current organization is a VMWare shop. Rubrik won due to their implementation and the fact that Rubrik is going to provide options for our Cloud based DR for immediate consumption of servers.
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.
