Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance
Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

Reliable automated backups have protected critical databases and simplified recoveries for our operations
Portal identity management should improve. We end up losing people's identity, which was not sufficient enough to read the events. That was the only place I could see for improvement. They keep changing the layouts and descriptions, giving the user confusion if they have not used it for maybe three months. When they come back, the interface is changed. They lost the legacy support, and it is not consistent. Some of the options for the restore give a very hard time for the engineer if they come back after three months to use it because the phrases have changed completely. That is why they were not able to select whether they should select this option or should select another option. Where it comes from, the documentation we gave them does not match anymore. That was a challenge.My consultation part was about how to integrate the technology with each other for the platform or storage or database. I did not deal with any price metrics or scaling the storage. I have no idea about the pricing part. I never joined any meetings or any documents to disclose the pricing. It was quite good in general. Recently, in March 2025, they did a new update which enabled them to update their agents remotely and built in, in-place mode. That is bringing the cybersecurity perspective. That was a big challenge. I said it is a challenge, but I do not know because I left the company, so I am not sure if cybersecurity addressed the solution. Rubrik support is usually very accommodating and very flexible. I am not sure, but the last challenge I saw was that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members."
"The Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"The unit has been running at 100% without an issue."
"Immediate data recovery: critical to business continuity in an age of unknown cyber threats."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"Reduxio delivers a self-contained system with all of the features rolled in and functional."
"In the event of a deletion, corruption, or ransomware, I am never going to lose more than one second of changes."
"The TimeOS support and I/O performance. For instance, recovery of data from any point in time, and the speed of the unit, are incredible compared to other devices we reviewed."
"Even though I am not trained for implementing, it is easy to use and easy to learn."
"Its reporting is most valuable. I like how it reports that everything is successfully backed up. It provides a summarized report that I can give to auditors and management."
"I haven't encountered any bugs or glitches using the solution."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
"Overall the product is really good."
"CloudOut, because only blocks are pushed after compression and deduplication, not raw sizing."
"You need to understand what you're getting for the price: you are getting a backup solution which is state of the art and works absolutely flawlessly, with the storage needed to store your backups and all the sexy features that a modern backup solution can provide you, like deduplication, erasure coding, compression, fast execution time, secured data, and top-notch customer support, so while it might be expensive on paper, when you analyze what you are getting and the time you can spend on other stuff, then Rubrik is very cost-efficient."
"The live mounting and compatibility of different operating systems is great."
 

Cons

"I am waiting for the vSphere Plug-In with individual VM level control."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"I think that the only issue that I would like to see an improvement in would be the price."
"I am waiting on a feature set in the new version which should allow me to replicate between Reduxio iSCSI SANs for disaster recovery and also to 3rd party iSCSI SANs which are cheaper for an archive or DR target."
"Needs to be made easier to use with slightly older versions of VMware."
"It would be nice feature if the GUI had an option to export the current unit configuration to a file or an email recipient. In case of a disaster, this way it would be quicker to get a replacement unit up and running again."
"The only thing that I would point out would be the basic administration management of the machine. Everything has rights, meaning that there's either all control or no delegated control. So to sum that up, it would be a feature request for delegated management in the administrative console."
"the only thing I would say negative about Reduxio is the cabling was a little bit confusing at first, but now that we understand it, it's easy. It was just so different from what we've seen before. That was the only hard part to get used to. The storage array is fully redundant, so there are some cross-connect cables that you have to run, from the A side to the B side, and the B side back to the A side, and we've just never seen anything like that before. But now that I understand the design, it makes complete sense. But initially it was confusing."
"The integrated reporting is not really that nicely built."
"Some of the areas that need improvement are the user GUI (multi-tenancy) and the promised Rubrik Edge solution, which will allow customers to back up their physical devices in our cloud."
"I would love to be able to just get from the dashboard to a file that I need, or a system that I need."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"It needs more storage array integration options and an easier restore for files that download using a browser."
"I hope to see enhancements in areas like data governance and the incorporation of new features in future updates."
"I wish there was more training readily available, not just the expensive classes that require purchasing Rubrik credits."
"Native Rubrik is stable, but we have struggled a lot with stability in our recently installed cloud-based instance of the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."
"I think it is worth the value."
"ROI is how much (time, money, resources) you will save in case of a ransomware attack because you had this box."
"​The advantage of using HDDs to store (versus pure flash) makes the price point attractive versus other options.​​"
"One of the key selling points of the Reduxio was that it really is fully licensed for the unit. There are no additional licenses needed for the product, which really helps scalability. There were no additional options to purchase, per se. They were already wrapped into the product."
"The compression and dedupe are very effective on Reduxio, so it may be worth asking about licensing partial capacity on a unit, if the full capacity seems overkill for your environment."
"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."
"Setup and licensing are included in the solution cost."
"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 are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"Rubrik is not cheap. Hopefully, you can archive your data on cheap storage to keep the investment minimal."
"The pricing has been quite good from our perspective, in terms of being able to negotiate with the Rubrik team to get the product that we want and be able to sell that out to our end customers."
"The cost was less than our previous provider, and this is a much better product."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
