Good policies related to data
I primarily use it for various policies related to data, such as data retention, data deletion, and archiving policies. All policies can be set using this system The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities. I would like to see more integration with different platforms,…

Technical support has improved my data management process but I encounter GUI and cost challenges
The solution is available in the Azure Marketplace, but approaching directly is more cost-effective. The Marketplace approach incurs additional platform and reporting costs. We initially built Rubrik at host level and DB level. We encountered latency issues when reverting back, with numerous snapshots available. This resulted in increased costs and occupied spaces. I performed manual deletion of snapshots and verified with the Rubrik team for confirmation. The GUI reporting functionality lacks flexibility. For instance, obtaining specific server reports considering drive space and backup quantities is not possible, as it only provides overall reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Rubrik support is outstanding."
"Product support team is excellent, with issues typically being resolved on the same day."
"The thing that sets Rubrik apart is the instant recovery feature."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"When it comes to saving time managing our backups, Rubrik has saved us a lot of time compared to what we were using; it feels like it has saved us lifetimes of time because the process used to be difficult."
"For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated."
"Some of the areas that need improvement are the user GUI (multi-tenancy) and the promised Rubrik Edge solution, which will allow customers to back up their physical devices in our cloud."
"The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"It is a lot more expensive than other solutions, but you get what you pay for."
"I'd like to see a cloud backup service for smaller customer environments that may not support a physical or virtual appliance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We pay annually for the license for Rubrik. There are no additional costs. Initially, we needed to set it up, negotiate and finalize the offer."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"Rubrik's support is definitely on the expensive side, but I consider it to be top of the line. We incur no additional costs beyond the standard licensing fees."
