Overall Satisfaction with Rubrik
We’re using Rubrik to eradicate tapes from our environment backing up NAS, VMware, HyperV, and Nutanix. It’s a central IT service for all infrastructure provided to our business. It brings a rapid restore capability compared to tape which took days to get back and that’s just the tape let alone the restore process.
- Instant recovery
- Cloud out technology
- Backs up everything we have needed to!
- Ransomware detection
- Immutable backups
- Hyper scale
- Better integration in AHV
- Over 5 yrs will save us nearly 6 figures in cost
- Ability to actually restore data in a timely manner
- Staff spends time managing rather than swapping tapes
Levels of intelligence can’t compare - one is a legacy thought process; the other modern.
