Immutable protection has secured critical workloads and delivers strong automated recovery options
I think immutable protection is the most valuable feature; that is something the customer will resonate with. I think AI-powered insights for predictive analytics is an attractive topic because people like to learn more about it, but I do not think right now people are ready to spend money on just these features. I think it is an add-on that customers appreciate, but it is not a special or separate topic that the customer will prioritize. I think Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks is a good topic to discuss with customers right now, but I do not think at the moment it would be a separate initiative that the customer already has a budget for. I think Rubrik Go is effective in enabling workload recovery and provisioning, but it has yet to be proven with our customer implementation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very good solution."
"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"This solution is very simple and easy to use, and it is easy to implement, but I would like more enhancements and features to be added."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a hyper-converged backup appliance with everything in one box and has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"Rubrik Go is both very scalable and stable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
 

Cons

"Pricing is an area that can be improved. In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"There should be an option to generate reports in PDF format, rather than only in Excel or CSV format."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"One of the issues with the product is that you cannot postpone a specific backup job. If you try to do that, every backup job is paused."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"This is a very costly solution."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
