Overall Satisfaction with Rubrik

Rubrik was installed as a replacement to Legacy Backup Exec. Previously we conducted full backups daily/weekly. Rubrik backs up user data/exchange/VMs/SQL. It's quick and performs amazingly. This is a full company backup system, so it backs up all environments from test to production.
  • Live mounting
  • Speeds backups
  • Uptime
  • Support
  • Exchange restores
  • It's a backup solution, so we can't quantify the ROI
Blows it out of the water. Web-based interface: not a clunky slow GUI Appliance: doesn't have to be installed on windows (which requires monthly updates). In pretty much every aspect, this was a major upgrade to Backup Exec. Obviously, Backup Exec. is cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Support is also second to none. BE support was atrocious.
Great for live mounting a VM in an "emergency" scenario. We had an issue recently where an update destroyed a service on a VM. Rather than figuring out which one it was, we live mounted the entire VM in minutes (from a point in time backup). Found it to be working, so restored it and removed the broken one. Simple quick and easy.
