Database Expert at a tech company with 51-200 employees
Excellent Rental Data Centres to simulate a DR (Disaster Recovery) operation .
SunGard provides DR (Disaster Recovery) services at it's data centers. The service is for companies who do not maintain their own dedicated DR sites and need to rent one to conduct a DR exercise for validating it's DR setup. These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements. Companies can rent their hardware cages at SunGard Site and have options to replicate their critical data at the DR site periodically. They can then simulate the DR exercise when desired. Additionally Tape restores are also possible at the DR site.

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.

Pros

"These centers have state of the art equipment with all possible hardware options and one needs to define their specific requirements."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"For data security, anomaly detection, site monitoring, and threat hunting are very important features that help customers."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
"I would rate this solution 10 out of 10."
"Rubrik simplifies our data backup and recovery processes significantly. It's very straightforward to use. We start by tagging through VMware, and everything tagged for Rubrik is backed up automatically. Backups are much better and faster because Rubrik takes a full snapshot of the virtual machine. We recently conducted a verification by performing a restore, and even during the restore process, we could bring up the server in less than 10-15 minutes. Additionally, we have set up alerts for sensitive data, which helps us track data."
"We used to have to dedicate a full-time employee just to look at and manage the backups and after implementing Rubrik we no longer need a dedicated person."
"Replacing these four with Rubrik has definitely saved us a lot of money."
 

Cons

"This is a good service, however a costly one."
"Looking at how the data is broken down, we can see the total story, but sometimes it's difficult to see how big a particular snapshot is. Across 90 days of snapshots, which one is a particularly large one? Looking at the data holistically could be a lot easier."
"Its cost is high."
"Native Rubrik is stable, but we have struggled a lot with stability in our recently installed cloud-based instance of the solution."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"A singular system is needed to manage all of the clusters."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"Rubrik is expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"Rubrik was probably the most expensive solution but in the long run, it's justified by the value of the data that it protects."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"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 is an expensive solution."
