Streamlined data management reduces workload and costs significantly for the team
We are planning to use Rubrik Go's AI-powered insights for predictive analytics, but have not implemented this yet. I cannot provide updates on Rubrik Go's capability to automate data management tasks because I have not used that feature yet. Rubrik Go's integration capabilities with cloud providers have benefited my multi-cloud environment significantly. Rubrik Go's subscription model has helped me align my data protection investments, which is a good option as I am one of the customers who have deployed this subscription option. I am definitely satisfied with the licensing model as it is very simplified and easy to understand. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Rubrik Go a 9.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The platform's most effective feature is quickly recovering virtual instances into a separate environment."
"The solution's most valuable feature is Sensitive Data Discovery."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"Clients find the cost very good and enjoy the large cloud compatibility."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
"The most valuable feature with Rubrik is that even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"The most valuable feature is that it is a hyper-converged backup appliance with everything in one box and has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"The solution's main focus is on security and ransomware."
 

Cons

"They could add more intelligence features in the workflow through automation."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
"Technical support isn't that good, especially if you compare it to a competitor like EMC."
"There should be an option to generate reports in PDF format, rather than only in Excel or CSV format."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The additional cost is cloud storage, which the public cloud provider charges."
"This is a very costly solution."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap, I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
