We went with Rubrik based on our needs.
We wanted on-prem backup with the option of having a second site where our data is replicated.
Rubrik now has some new offerings such as:
- RADAR that scans data on our on-prem backup storage for anomalies,
- SONOR for looking for specific data within the backups that might not be compliant, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc.,
- Rubrik Cloud Vault allows me to replicate my data to their data center which would keep my data air gapped from my site, and now their NAS direct offering where you don't even need their hardware on-premise but you can backup your NAS directly to their data center.
