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

"Ease of user interface: prevents distractions and confusion when dealing with real-time catastrophes and high-pressure situations. Overall, it extremely easy to use. My team was trained within less than two hours."
"Honestly, when I first installed it I was skeptical but the technology and team won me over."
"If you’re looking for a low latency, high capacity, dead simple, storage appliance, Reduxio HX550 should be your only choice."
"We have already replaced our storage and backup with Reduxio’s converged primary and secondary platform."
"Reduxio has definitely created a different category with their technology."
"We are getting 4.4:1 data reduction, which means we will be able to squeeze over 120TB into 2U. This is more than enough capacity for us."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"The Reduxio box has improved our resiliency and management overhead."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"The system is able to determine when it is the best time to do backups. This is SLA-driven, and if it is not possible to maintain this SLA, the system will tell you too."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"Rubrik is cheap, and you get good performance."
"Even though I am not trained for implementing, it is easy to use and easy to learn."
"The instant recovery aspect of the solution is the most valuable aspect for me."
"Rubrik has brought all of our backups under a single pane of glass and made recovery extremely simple."
 

Cons

"Needs some hooks into cloud storage for backup. Also they should update the system to use additional secondary storage as a resource."
"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."
"Integration is needed with other virtual vendors like VMware, Veeam, Hyper-V; that integration needs to be deeper, not just the way that they're using it now. I know that it's under development, but I think this is one of the disadvantages, for now, as a young company. They have to work with the other players on the market."
"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."
"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"There is always room for improvement with some shortcuts for the web interface. They could make it even more beautiful."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"They need to find a solution for SMBs. It is currently only suitable for enterprises or big customers. They need to find a solution that suits SMBs."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"An area of the solution that could be improved is from an analytics point of view, if I had to choose something."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."
"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."
"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."
"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."
"I think the pricing is good value, because you're not just buying a storage array, you're buying a backup solution and a DR solution and a "time machine" solution, all bundled in one storage array. When we had NetApp storage we had to then go out and buy a copy of Veeam which is a backup solution. With the Reduxio, you still need to do backups but you don't need that software product."
"​The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options.​​"
"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."
"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
"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."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"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."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price. You are getting a backup solution, which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly. You are getting the storage needed to store your backups. You have all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support. So, it might be expensive on paper. It's not free, but when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"There is just one cost, and it includes software and hardware. So, everything is included. It is better than other solutions in terms of cost. We also have Dell EMC Avamar in our environment, and we have to pay for the hardware and data domain. We also have to pay for the software license for the data protection suite. So, based on my calculations, I find Rubrik cheaper, and we are also getting good performance."
