Featured Reviews

SanjayMishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight, easy to install and configure, and it does its job automatically
One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console. Currently, Druva can manage only one Office 365 tenant per console. As a customer, I should be able to manage all Office 365 tenants from a single console. This is one product feature I am looking for.
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

"Users do not need to contact IT administrators to recover lost or deleted files. They can do it on their own, eliminating waiting time."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"It is simple to implement and use. It's very flexible."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"It's incredibly fast."
"Replaces legacy tapes and disk backups which are unreliable, expensive and space consuming."
"Rubrik's immutability feature ensures the security of our backups by preventing unauthorized alterations. The most effective feature for simplifying our data backup processes is the ability to perform on-demand or scheduled backups and restores, which greatly enhances manageability. The security and compliance features have had a positive impact on our data management practices. We utilize Rubrik not only for virtual machine backups but also for backing up approximately twenty terabytes of unstructured data, including file shares and documents. This allows users to easily restore deleted documents using the Soft Delete feature, depending on the backup frequency."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"It has reduced our maintenance efforts. The amount of time and effort that would have gone in troubleshooting various issues related a data crash has been addressed by Rubrik. So, it has helped to improve our productivity. The data is being captured about our customers periodically that is secure and safe."
"The ease of use and innovation are the features that stand out for us."
"The user interface (UI) is great. It is very lightweight and intuitive."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
 

Cons

"It would be good if bare metal backups were possible."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"The solution takes a lot of time during restoration."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The product needs to improve its support."
"The solution's reporting feature could be better."
"Its reporting can be improved. Sometimes, I need to create reports to know whether something is available or not, how much frontend data is being protected, etc. Rubrik gives a lot of things in the report, which can be confusing. It isn't very easy to get reports. It shows all the backup, index, replication, and everything else in one report. So, I have to export, filter, and then do the calculations."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"Price-wise, Rubrik needs improvement as it is considered expensive compared to similar competitors."
"It is an expensive product."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is difficult, and deciphering the logs without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing is good."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"Rubrik is quite expensive for small businesses."
"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."
"There is a license requirement for the solution. If you expand or if the maintenance period expires, there's a license renewal as well."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"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."
