We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The product enables us to restore lost files.""The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification.""The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy.""The initial setup is pretty simple.""The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it.""The product is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."

"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation.""The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company.""Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API.""Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window.""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.""Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects.""Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing.""The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."

Cons
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing.""What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed.""The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers.""The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms.""They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows.""We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."

More Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup Cons →

"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients.""The solution needs to be more secure and needs to better protect against ransomware.""It does not offer image-level backups for Hyper-V 2012.""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. Cost has become an important factor in deciding whether to continue with the Rubrik solution.""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.""It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB.""The reporting in the dashboard and reporting for extractions both need improvement. I would suggest making them easier to understand and use, not just out-of-the-box. We should also be able to customize them.""I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by Rubrik users.

    PeerSpot user Chadd B., System Administrator at a manufacturing company, says, “The solution is easy to use with an intuitive web interface, helpful support, good performance, and saves us time. The most valuable feature is the Instant Recovery, where we can restore a VM or SQL database or any server or application, and have it up and running on their appliance within a few seconds. The VM backup and the SQL backup are blazingly fast for both backup and recovery.”

    A Storage Administrator at a healthcare company explains that the solution “Cut our backup management time significantly, and the near-instant recovery reduces our downtime. He also comments that “The scalability is wonderful. That is one of our biggest advantages with this.”

    Burhan S., Systems Engineer at Harvard University, mentions, "There is a live-restore feature, their Live Mount, and the way it works we can instantly recover a VM, a past backup, to be directly attached to our VMware environment. Rubrik will act as a disk for it. It's like an instant restore. Within a few minutes our VM is up and running. And then, if we want to restore it, we can just migrate it to our actual storage."

    Kevin M., Head Of Operations at University of Reading, states, “The solution’s SLA-based functionality means we don't have to manually manage backup windows, and recovery times have been notably reduced. Its web interface is really easy to use. It's just click and go. It's fast and intuitive. We've never had any problems in navigating.”
