Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance
Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

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

"My first impression of Reduxio was, "Hey, this is the first solution that I have ever encountered that can truly ensure business continuity," and my impression has not yet changed."
"I like the performance. I think it's what you call a hybrid SAN. It has solid state drives and, of course, regular optical drives, which would make performance a lot better, faster."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"Reduxio provides a means of backing up the data that you store in it down to one second granularity."
"If you’re looking for a low latency, high capacity, dead simple, storage appliance, Reduxio HX550 should be your only choice."
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"While looking for a SAN, I came across the Reduxio solution by chance, and it has not only resolved the issue of replacing our old SANs, but provided a radical solution to threats posed by ransomware with its backdating feature which is built-in."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"Replacing these four with Rubrik has definitely saved us a lot of money."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"The product's most valuable feature is the immutability of a backup."
"At this point, we have a 100% success rate, which was definitely not the case with any prior system that I've used."
"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."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Rubrik provides excellent customer service and technical support."
 

Cons

"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"The latest release limits web access to the admin console via Chrome only, and that's a bit of a hassle. Would definitely prefer something less restrictive there."
"Would love to have role-based access and an active directory integration."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"The recovery of Oracle databases is too complicated."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"I have a personal want which might not necessarily make sense with Rubrik as a company or Rubrik as a software, but it would be really nice if they could also handle things like item-level backups and restores of Active Directory objects and DNS and DCP objects."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012."
"There is room for improvement in pricing. After the licensing, the price tends to go up as time goes by."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."
"The licensing is very simple with Reduxio. It is actually one of the attractions, unlike some of the other products. The other product we're using, in some of its incarnations, has extremely complex pricing, with every spindle having an associated license and fees. With Reduxio it's very simple. For the box - the hardware comes in essentially one configuration for the chassis, the unit (and you can buy multiple units and daisy-chain them) - there is no "a-la-carte," so many drives of this kind or that kind, etc. It has a basic hardware configuration. Then, through the software license, they allocate or assign you the right to use the full capacity, or half of it, or a quarter of it. Of course, if you're not using the full capacity but need to, it is a simple phone call to upgrade. It's as simple as it gets."
"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."
"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."
"​The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options.​​"
"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."
"The compression and dedupe are very effective on Reduxio, so it may be worth asking about licensing partial capacity on a unit, if the full capacity seems overkill for your environment."
"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"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."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
