Johan Camp - PeerSpot reviewer
Reliable, easy to set up, and offers good pricing
In the future, we are looking for solutions combining both local and cloud backup from a single management platform that was initially not yet available. There were two different platforms at Barracuda. What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed. It's difficult as they rely on Azure too. However, that would be convenient from a user perspective.
AmarpreetSingh - PeerSpot reviewer
Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product's most valuable feature is the backup retention policy."
"Overall, I would rate Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup a nine out of ten."
"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 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."
"Cut backup remediation to nearly nothing."
"Rubrik provides excellent customer service and technical support."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks. Rubrik is a very nice, very good solution because it is able to protect your data and you have the possibility from the backup to detect any abnormal behavior, like a ransomware attack. You are able to detect and restore very easily with this solution. This is a major differentiator in comparison to the other competitors."
"The solution is extremely stable. They've been phenomenal, especially for a young company."
"​Rubrik is very simple to implement and setup. ​"
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"The file search feature across all backups has been helpful."
 

Cons

"What would be great should be either a guaranteed restore or a guaranteed restoring speed."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"We needed assistance with the implementation of the solution from the vendor. The process could be easier."
"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."
"Rubrik could improve in customization options for dashboards."
"There are some features to improve on in Rubrik. For instance, they should have a tool where we can integrate with our SAP HANA. Directly from the HANA studio, we should be able to do a backup. That's what I'm looking forward to in the future."
"There could be better reporting and better filtering."
"Its cost is high."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"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. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"The deployment and configuration of the backup service is something that could be streamlined a little bit, particularly when you're trying to do a SQL workload. You have to install a backup service on the server. You only have to do it once and then you're done, but you have to do that on every server that you want to protect."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"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 expensive, but due to its data management capabilities, customers can save a lot by reducing hardware and storage."
"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."
"Rubrik is priced high, but it was the solution that was providing us encryption and was secure. The solution price is high, but you get what you pay for."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"High priced when considering a total change in backup solution."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
