Used for cloud databases and overall cyber resiliency
The solution can be installed everywhere. Nowadays, it is deployed on the public cloud. If it's a small-sized environment, it takes two to three hours to configure everything. On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy, I rate the solution's initial setup ten out of ten.

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 straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"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."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
"The solution's most valuable features are its ease of use and performance."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"I believe there's room for improvement in terms of support, particularly with Tier 3 support coming from the on-call team."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"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 have been occasional issues with the user interface needing certain necessary information, requiring us to contact support for clarification."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"This is a very costly solution."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"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."
"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."
