Ensures efficient backup and recovery processes
The Protect and Restore features are very helpful. I can set up tags to include specific assets in our environment for backup. When I include those tags in my search, the assets are easily found and can be added for backup. I love the restore feature and how easily I can restore files, folders, or an entire image.

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

"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. It is a very simple system compared to just about any other back up technology. It is extremely easy to use and very versatile."
"I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
"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."
"Overall the product is really good."
"The solution is stable."
"It works with VMware and Hyper-V without agent installation."
"If a fast recovery and scalability are critical points, then this is the best choice."
"Mounting recent backups to create new servers rather than cloning servers in VMware drastically cut down required time."
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"It needs to keep innovating to stay relevant in the data management field."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious."
"Its cost is high."
"They have what's called an organization which means different groups of access to Rubrik, but the alerting only goes to the admins."
"Price-wise, Rubrik needs improvement as it is considered expensive compared to similar competitors."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is not what it should be. Once you gather logs, deciphering them without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
"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."
"Due to this effective, faster backup and recovery solution, we are now able to focus on other creative tasks to meet our entire pipeline. So, we have seen ROI in terms of the improvement of productivity in our team. We save around one million dollars a year."
"Rubrik is an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"Rubrik is fairly priced."
"We pay yearly and it's based on the number of bricks."
