Simplifies backup, restore, and clone management across disparate applications and infrastructures
It's a simple solution to use. It's simple to configure everything that you need — configure your backups. It gives you an option to backup to the cloud or backup to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage. For example, if a customer is running on Azure NetApp files or on something cloud-based that they want to back up, they have the option of bringing their own licensing and cloud controls and NetApp will give them the storage to back up for as long as they want. When deleting backups, the controls are very intuitive so not just anyone can delete the backups, only the administrator is able to do that. Backing up and restoring is simple. It's easy. It's one click of a button. It's quite good, I like it.

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

"It gives you an option to back up to the cloud or back up to on-premise, or to backup to cloud storage."
"I would recommend it because it makes it simple to manage backups from Office 365."
"The most valuable features are the support for both NAS and NFS."
"The interface, customization, and security are superb."
"NetApp SaaS Backup is a good solution and I recommend it."
"It's a user-friendly solution."
"The most valuable feature is the simplicity in configuration and use."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"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 the ease of use for backing up VMs."
"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 automation capabilities streamline our operations significantly."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"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."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
 

Cons

"For newcomers or people who have less experience, it's a complex solution that could be simplified somewhat."
"There are several things that cannot be backed up as a full system, but rather only as a shared file. It isn't compatible with all applications and databases."
"Better integration with third-party databases and applications is needed."
"There are still a few things on SharePoint that they need to correct in terms of how they backup and restore."
"I would like to see the graphical user interface improved to include all of the functionality because there are some things that you need to use the command-line interface for."
"The features need to be updated to support the latest hardware, as it changes every year."
"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."
"The AWS backups could be improved."
"You should be able to add more workloads to Rubrik Go."
"The solution’s pricing could be reduced."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"I think integration with multiple cloud support could be an additional feature that would make the product even better."
"There should be an option to generate reports in PDF format, rather than only in Excel or CSV format."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is more or less the same as what we'd get from Veeam on Office 365, so it's fine."
"The licensing was based on a three-year subscription and the price is good compared so some other vendors."
"My understanding of the costs is that the price is fair, and not too expensive."
"The solution is reasonably priced."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"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."
"The client pays for the solution depending on what they use."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"This is a very costly solution."
"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."
