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 Reduxio unit is superior in its ability to recover from any second."
"Efficiency of data management (Tier-X tiering, and NoDup inline dedupliclation and compression) provide for quick response time (+150k IOPS) during regular usage."
"The support has been so responsive and great, they feel like one of our staff members."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"By using the BackDating option we can restore volumes based on time. It also reduces volumes and maintenance time."
"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."
"After running production workloads for over a year without a single failure and performance improvements across the board, I highly recommend this storage solution to anyone in the market."
"After all the evaluations of other alternatives, we chose Reduxio."
"Drives the back-end through a powerful, well-documented API."
"We do like the instant recovery... Now, we say, "Okay, give me 15 seconds and I can get this back up for you." And within that 15 seconds it's on and the only thing that we have to do afterwards is vMotion it off of the Rubrik storage back to where it should rest."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"The fact that the API is so available to us with the playground — there's an internal and public playground — is also valuable. We can write API calls — and although I'm sure there's a way we could hurt the data — we write those calls with a lot of certainty that we won't be destroying anything. We write these API calls using really easy mechanisms and generate automation a lot faster."
"The most valuable feature from a simplicity point of view is that it is very simple and easy to deploy and scale."
"We like this product because of its simplicity, pricing and reliability."
"The Live Mount feature is excellent; it's useful for the backup administrator and end user."
"They have a great PowerShell module and easy mediums to speak to the people who create and enhance them."
 

Cons

"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"If Reduxio could manage multiple Reduxio systems within the same dashboard, or manage them as a single mode, it be very, very helpful for us."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter."
"I would love an iPhone app to monitor my system from outside the firewall."
"The only critique that we have is it needs the ability to have local users added. You have to log in as one built-in admin account. You can't create your own."
"There is only thing I can think of at the moment, that would be detailed printable reports."
"The user interface for the web console could be more user-friendly, while it is flashy, how to find functions is not necessarily obvious.​"
"We had a brief hiccup, a brief outage, during one upgrade process, but it wasn't too extreme."
"Better integration for complex NAS structures having to mount at root adds time and workload to the process of NDMP."
"Collecting logs in Rubrik is very difficult compared to other tools."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough. They can't remote it to the peer site and manipulate it back up in order to move it over, take a copy of production, slap it over, and test it out. As I understand, they are working on it. Replication works. We also get spoiled by how good things are now. We get to a point where it is so easy but when something isn't instant gratification, it seems that everything else is so amazing, why isn't this right?"
"They support Hyper-V and it works with our CloudOut, the cloud DR, but they seem to add features for VMware first and Hyper-V gets added second or sometimes several releases after the VMware feature comes out."
"Global management of multiple systems is lacking, as is reporting across multiple installed units."
"Pricing is something that needs to be considered for improvement."
"I would like to see Rubrik better integrate with Microsoft Active Directory. Instead of just backing up a full domain controller, I would like the solution to have Active Directory object knowledge so we can restore specific objects in Active Directory versus restoring the whole domain controller."
"If there was something that we could get Rubrik to fix, it would be when our DBS takes snapshots of a server or the database, the replication doesn't kick off fast enough."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
"The pricing and licensing were favorable.​"
"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."
"Only one device is sold. Negotiate the initial storage, but you can start small and move up with ease. Negotiate."
"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."
"The licensing is very simple with Reduxio. It is actually one of the attractions, unlike some of the other products. The other product we're using, in some of its incarnations, has extremely complex pricing, with every spindle having an associated license and fees. With Reduxio it's very simple. For the box - the hardware comes in essentially one configuration for the chassis, the unit (and you can buy multiple units and daisy-chain them) - there is no "a-la-carte," so many drives of this kind or that kind, etc. It has a basic hardware configuration. Then, through the software license, they allocate or assign you the right to use the full capacity, or half of it, or a quarter of it. Of course, if you're not using the full capacity but need to, it is a simple phone call to upgrade. It's as simple as it gets."
"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."
"Depending on your cost of data loss, one ransomware or accidental deletion could pay for a Reduxio appliance."
"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."
"Rubrik is not the cheapest solution, but we've been happy with the time savings that we have seen. At least from what we have spent so far, we have been happy with the return on investment."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"The pricing and licensing of Rubrik is better than products that we've had in the past. It was quite a bit cheaper than Commvault and NetBackup."
"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."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
