Solutions Architect at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Flexible data manager with multiple back up options
Pros and Cons
- "I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided."
- "It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
What is our primary use case?
I am a reseller and systems integrator. This is used as a backup solution that already has a hardware appliance associated with it. So you don't need to buy a separate appliance from another vendor since Rubrik would already have hardware that's compatible with its backup software.
What is most valuable?
I value the options it has for storage tiering (i.e. whether it should be a flash, SSD, or pushed to the cloud) depending on the data provided.
What needs improvement?
It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It's able to be very scalable, either scaling up or scaling out.
How are customer service and support?
Support is good now that they are done restructuring.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is relatively straightforward takes a team of three anywhere from two weeks to a month depending on size.
What other advice do I have?
If clients agree to the relatively higher price point, it is definitely something we recommend, There is a lot of flexibility in how it can be deployed, and where their data can be backed up (i.e. on-premise or in the cloud).
I would rate it an eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
On-premises
