IT Admin at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
Offers good time navigation features and we haven't had stability problems in the twelve years we've been using it
The initial setup was supposed to be complex, and a guy from Atempto went to our site and they did it with us together. So, in the end, it was quite clear and straightforward. The deployment took one day. From time to time, we require maintenance. Most things can be done also automatically. We prefer to do some manually like recycling virtual cartridges. Two people are required for maintenance. Two people use it daily. Time Navigator runs daily, for some backups, even more, three, four times a day, for critical stuff. But for intervention, we have two, three per week.

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 time navigation is the most valuable feature."
"If you need anything, it's written in, and if you have problems, a development engineer is quite fast to fix it."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The product's protection against ransomware is a significant benefit."
"Time dedicated to backup was drastically reduced, with reduced infrastructure complexity and easy, fast restores."
"The implementation process is straightforward with simple clicks, cluster implementation, discovery, and adding components."
"With this new product, Rubrik, we walked into it blind, not being backup admins, and it made a lot of sense to us."
"We are protecting more than 3 petabytes of data daily, and we have more than 3,000 plus servers."
"The web-based approach is the most valuable feature."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
 

Cons

"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"They are working on the improvement we're looking for. The web GUI is flash-based and in around one or two months, they will put everything on HTML5."
"An area of the solution that could be improved is from an analytics point of view, if I had to choose something."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
"The licensing cost is quite high. That is something that needs to be worked out, because so many times it happens that the team does not have the budget or there are other issues at that time."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"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."
"Currently, the physical server agent will only back up folder structures and not truly give you the ability to restore to a bare-metal box."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"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."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"It’s simple, straightforward, and we were able to see 50% hard savings."
