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

Pros

"I can access my files from all kind of devices and operating systems. I do not need any more external flash drives. I can even edit my files directly in the cloud using pCloud Drive."
"The sync process has been quick, and the software correctly maintains the same file structure as in File Explorer."
"Features we have requested are typically added to the next product release."
"The web interface is user-friendly, clean, and it provides a good summary of what you're protecting at a glance."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik for me is its user-friendliness and efficiency."
"What I like the most about Rubrik is its user-friendly interface."
"Rubrik, when compared to Cohesity, Dell, and Veritas, was the best of the four."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Not having to specify a time to run a backup with a fixed schedule is something that's really beneficial. In the past we had to schedule and try to manually stagger things over the window, to back up everything. Because Rubrik is SLA-based, you say, "Well, I need it to fit in this window here," and it just backs it up when it's most convenient for the Brik and for the third-party system. It looks at the CPU usage and says, "Okay, it's not as busy now. I know I've got time to take the backup." That's a real advantage."
 

Cons

"My recommendation is that support could be better, even though sometimes things can be technically complicated."
"The dashboard and user interface could be improved to make them more user-friendly."
"The customer service and support could be a bit faster."
"I don't like Rubrik's user interface because it's not intuitive, and I find it hard to get the information I need."
"The only thing that can be improved is catering for open source databases because at the moment it doesn't cater for Mongo, MySQL, and Postgres."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. There is always room for improvement."
"Rubrik can only leverage cloud storage for archiving and has no cloud failover."
"The interface is still slightly clunky and has room for improvement. They do work with us whenever we mention anything that needs to be done or anything that we want. We find that bringing up the management interface is a little slow and not as intuitive as we would like, but it's been getting better as it evolves."
"I would like for unmanaged backups to be able to be saved in a separate policy."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Originally, we bought the units on perpetual licenses. Now, we have switched to Rubrik Go. I think the Rubrik Go subscription is a better model, where it is based on your onsite environment and you consume what you use."
"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 an all inclusive price. No additional implementation costs or licencing."
"Some people say it is expensive, but you get what you pay for. If you want a Maserati, you have to pay for it. If you want to buy a Porsche, you have to pay for it."
"Rubrik is a little bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"The initial setup cost includes support and maintenance costs, followed by a monthly fee."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"When we compared the overall costs, Rubrik was cheaper because the engineering and operational side required FAR LESS dedication. So, all in all, they actually were cheaper than the competition."
