Database Expert at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Excellent Rental Data Centres to simulate a DR (Disaster Recovery) operation .
SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site.

Senior Technical Support Engineer at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Reliable automated backups have protected critical databases and simplified recoveries for our operations
Portal identity management should improve. We end up losing people's identity, which was not sufficient enough to read the events. That was the only place I could see for improvement. They keep changing the layouts and descriptions, giving the user confusion if they have not used it for maybe three months. When they come back, the interface is changed. They lost the legacy support, and it is not consistent. Some of the options for the restore give a very hard time for the engineer if they come back after three months to use it because the phrases have changed completely. That is why they were not able to select whether they should select this option or should select another option. Where it comes from, the documentation we gave them does not match anymore. That was a challenge.My consultation part was about how to integrate the technology with each other for the platform or storage or database. I did not deal with any price metrics or scaling the storage. I have no idea about the pricing part. I never joined any meetings or any documents to disclose the pricing. It was quite good in general. Recently, in March 2025, they did a new update which enabled them to update their agents remotely and built in, in-place mode. That is bringing the cybersecurity perspective. That was a big challenge. I said it is a challenge, but I do not know because I left the company, so I am not sure if cybersecurity addressed the solution. Rubrik support is usually very accommodating and very flexible. I am not sure, but the last challenge I saw was that.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"One of the best quote is: “it looks simple because we make it simple”, Bipul Sinha."
"Live Mount is where we do the majority of our big recoveries, unless it is a file recovery. A file recovery takes a few minutes to restore to where the file in the event a file was accidentally deleted by a user, etc. There has been at least a 90 percent reduction in recovery time based on our previous solution, from the need to recover something to when it's actually recovered went from hours to minutes."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"I highly recommend the solution as it's very user-friendly and easy to work with out-of-the-box; there's nothing complex about it."
"The management and ease of installation are the most valuable features."
"When we were using our old backup we had approximately 40 incidents per week, with Rubrik we might only have two or three incidents per week."
 

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins. My suggestion to Rubrik is to make sure that the separate organizations or groups of users get the appropriate alerting."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"An area of the solution that could be improved is from an analytics point of view, if I had to choose something."
"I would like a way to set monthly backups on a certain date and time."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"I wish there was more training readily available, not just the expensive classes that require purchasing Rubrik credits."
"The main pain points we experienced was the stability of the system. We received a lot of instability when we have upgraded from a certain version to a new version. The newer version was completely filled with bugs and we needed to purge the system every week until we update to a newer version that was available one year later. The stability of the code is the main problem, they need to make it better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
