Overall Satisfaction with Rubrik

Rubrik is being used as the underlying hyper-converged backup solution for a large scale service provider grade deployment.
  • Scales out linearly and predictably with no limitations.
  • Management of backups and policies are aligned with service provider requirements.
  • Support of application-aware backups increases exponentially.
  • Fantastic API for integrations with Dynamic Documentation (Swagger).
  • Support team is alert and proactive.
  • Very low administrative overhead.
  • Live mount is very fast and consistent.
  • Source remote clusters require static IP Addresses (destination pulls data as opposed to push).
  • Exchange DAG is not supported natively!
  • AWS integration is limited.
  • Decreased administrative overhead for managing backup and DR.
  • Increased the scalability of the backup solution to support growing business operations.
  • Decreased the complexity of managing multi-technology environments.
Rubrik has the simplest and the most scalable solution to large scale backups with provable linear performance. Software-defined solutions increase dependencies and older technologies do not use true incremental backups. The ability to stack Rubrik appliances up, at 2 RU each, with a maximum real local capacity of up to 75TB per unit, plus deduplication and compression that requires no administration, is really unbelievable.
Rubrik is very strong in traditional datacenter topologies due to its low rack footprint and very effective deduplication and compression technology. It may be less suited for SMB as there are software-defined solutions that have fewer dependencies and more flexible deployment architectures.
