Overall Satisfaction with Rubrik

Rubrik is our primary backup device for our Nutanix infrastructure. We store about 40tb of data on here which is mission critical. We create SLA's and also recover files when users accidentally delete from our file server. It is extremely easy to use, and is fairly priced. The support is fantastic and is very quick to respond, and sales keeps an eye on you offering any advice and or demos of new products that are applicable to your organization.
  • Recovery
  • Ransomware mitigations
  • SLA's
  • Backup restoration
  • Lower price point
  • More frequent hardware refreshes
  • More training seminars
  • less time spending on backups for IT staff
  • critical infrastructure backed up for less then we were paying before
  • more reporting and notifications on why backups have issues or fail
  • Veeam Backup & Replication
We found that Veeam was way cheaper but the UI and backup interface were nowhere near as powerful as Rubrik. Rubrik is a higher investment there is no question about that but if people are looking for a detailed backup environment that is very powerful from an enterprise level we found it to be superior to Veeam.

Yes

Would you buy Rubrik again?

Yes

Rubrik is well suited to a company that has critical data that cannot be lost or needs to be accessed quickly on-premises. The reason I say on-premises is if you have the device in your data center you can set your backups and SLAs to keep a certain amount of data on-premises for quicker access before offloading to the cloud or NAS. You should also have a healthy backup budget as it is not cheap, so in that sense, it would be less appropriate for organizations that do not have strict backup requirements or the need for instant recovery.
