Rubrik Reviews

Instant recovery of VMs using the direct mount feature of Rubrik.
Ability to archive your backups to cloud storage.
Ease of use

Pricing and complex licensing options and naming of the features.
Limited integration options with opensource virtualization solutions like Proxmox/KVM etc.

Rubrik is used to protect 1,000+ objects in my environment with 90%+ being VMware virtual machines. It is being used across the whole organization, globally, with three clusters existing to support our global initiatives. It provides backup protection for my objects and also provides a way to migrate certain data profiles into the cloud.

Searchable Content - search for file across datasets allows for quick restores.

I am patiently awaiting the release of 4.1 which should bring massive improvements to the functionality of the system as well as add additional features missing from the product. I feel Rubrik is well suited for customers that want to run high amount of snapshots per day and wish for a lower RPO granularity for restore. It is less appropriate for perhaps customers that want to run all their backups in one evening because of how jobs are queued and spread across the backup window.

Missing functionality - allow for more granular intervals across different time segments.

the immutable file system which make it stand outside the cyber attack

the integration with the third party sql cluster software is not compactable

Support
Web single pane of glass
community
Api first

Lack of GCP feature
update QA seem to be not fully appropriate
UI sometime not uniform
Developpement still seem to be push and forget...(mean missing to include stuff when released...so need to be patience to have the whole thing)

The backup and recovery options have always exceeded our basic expectations. We've come to depend on them, and thus are now able to rule out most other options which don't meet our new standards.

The move to their cloud-based services has at times been challenging. I can't say that they have always been as diligent as they needed before rolling out new features or changes. However, they have always been helpful in working through all issues.

Hardware, Software, Support what not everything that Rubrik provides are very helpful for everyone.

Require improvements in the Reporting. Sometimes we are unable to find the required feature.

The ease of use and confidence in our backups has allowed us to allocate our time to other projects. Compared to other tools that we have used in the past, Rubrik is miles ahead in this space.

The migration to the Rubrik Security Cloud has been a little tedious and some items are not fully implemented as they were in the local CDM. Once these are ironed out, we will be back to fully satisfied with the product.

I love how the vision is set on security. In an age where ransomware is on everyones mind, we have to stay vigilant and maintain high standards in who we deal with. Rubrik is very concerned with security and pushes us to be better.

It is not inexpensive to do something well. This is the case with Rubrik as well. If you use the features that you pay for, it is worth it. If you do not use the features that you pay for, it is likely going to feel more expensive.

Ease of use, great support. always innovating.

Just minor things like not being able to push agents out. Better support for ReFS.

As a Service Desk Technician, you might appreciate Rubrik's straightforward user interface and ease of use, which can streamline the backup process for VMs. The automation features could also be a highlight, reducing manual intervention and saving time. Additionally, Rubrik's fast recovery capabilities might stand out, ensuring minimal downtime in case of data loss. Lastly, the scalability of the solution could be a pro, as it allows for growth without significant changes to the backup infrastructure. These aspects could contribute to a positive experience with Rubrik for VM backup in a company setting.

Based on the information available, it seems there have been several issues reported with Rubrik, particularly concerning support cases and technical difficulties. For instance, there was a case where backup jobs were unable to replicate, causing significant delays and frustration due to the lack of timely support and data requested by the users123. Additionally, there were concerns about the reliability of the product, as jobs that were running smoothly suddenly halted without clear explanatio

The GUI is super friendly and easy to use. Setting up SLA is such a breeze and so is managing the backups and restoring.

It can be costly if you want additional security features.

Its not just backups, its data security, if you are still just taking flat backups with no data validation and security checks then you need to update.

Not much to complain about, but if there is something, then there will be delayed support for AHV products.

Easy to setup and maintain. Able to push to AWS easily as needed. Havent had to use it yet, but the option to run server off the brick if something happens and you need to fix it.

Little pricey but its worth it. The tunnel closure timeline is too short sometimes it feels like.

I love that everything is in one interface, the ability to create multiple SLAs is a massive win for my company. The additional protections that Rubrik allows from a security side is amazing.

The knowledge articles some of the time are not the best, so you have to reach out to support to get further.

Central management with archiving/replication built in!

Terminology used on restores, exports, mounts, live mounts etc.
