Storage administrator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the best around! " October 14, 2022 5.0 Moved to Rubrik from Avamar and it's miles better. APIs, software, speed, not having to have accelerators or proxies. Have had a few issues with figuring out a backup or new feature but one here and there is nothing compared to before. Support it useful and usually knows what to do but sometimes it does take a few tries. Pros Speed. Backups are very quick, restores (especially instant ones) are very very quick. Cons Sometimes figuring out why a backup failed requires you to open a support ticket, the errors aren't super useful or help and a lot of times it's a quick fix from them but a more descriptive error message would point to the same thing.

March 15, 2018 5.0 I no longer feel the need to babysit and monitor all of the backup jobs in the backup system. It simply works when it is supposed to at all times. Live recovery is near instant and handles all mounts through the appliance for rapid recovery. Spinning up test SQL servers from mounts are great for our development team also. Pros Backups of virtual machines and live mounts are done really well Storage arrays can integrate with Rubrik. Easy cloud archive setup. Cons More storage array integration needed. Easier restore for files that download using the browser. I can't get this to work. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Information Security Administrator Government Administration Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does the Job well, Great Product" March 6, 2018 4.0 Some benefits are that the product does the back up process correctly and efficiently for our data and does not need to be constantly monitored like other programs we have used in the past. Pros Some pros of Rubrik are that is automatically balances a schedule. Also the feature to instantly live mounts of virtual machines is very convenient. Cons Lack of native AD/Sharepoint/Exchange tools which would be a nice addition. Also there is no batch recovery without using API calls. Review Source SC Shawn C. IT Director Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Single dashboard for backups" October 27, 2023 5.0 Very positive. Staff has been helpful and very understanding when it comes to our environment. Overall we are a small company but they treat us the same as a large one. Pros Ability to manage and backup all of my cloud based solutions with a single product. Cons The setup was a bit difficult across the various cloud platforms we have. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Desktop Deployment / Systems Administrator Law Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Set it and forget it (Mostly)" March 6, 2018 4.0 Pros I do not need to monitor it all the time. I can just create SLA's and apply them to VM's/servers. Then I can sit back and let it backup. When we have run into issues support has been very easy to work with. Since they are still a new/growing company they take customer feedback seriously and look to implement it where they can. Cons Some features do not work as shown, but support has been great to help resolve these issues. We were sold on some features that currently do not exist but will be coming in a future update. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Vice President of Technology and Services Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent product!!" August 20, 2018 5.0 Overall this is a really great product. Anybody who has normal backup needs from Virtualization to SMB/NFS shares can use this product. It even has many of the OS level agents and key application agents like SQL and Exchange. It is missing an Active Directory object level backup/restore. They are working on an Office 365 backup capability (most other products don't have that yet either though). Overall this is a really nice product and it should be at the top of your list to consider if you are overhauling or replacing your backup solution. Pros Easy to use Simple to manage support is incredible love the simple code upgrade process Cons Missing a few features, many of them are legacy, but still missing. Every release gets more features.

Netbackup administrator Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rubrik review" July 8, 2022 4.0 On an organization point of view.. There are some netbackuo cloud platforms. So rubrik needs to get some work and make it a better... Pros Rubrik is easy to instalka and work.. However after working for some time.. I need to change to a different cloud platform.. Cons Rubrik has some complex dashboard instances that needs to be lessen up.. Reason for choosing Rubrik Rubrik is easy to use though missing some attributes... But its good overall.. Review Source BM Brandon M. Owner Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A backup solution that just works!" March 30, 2018 5.0 Pros More than any other backup platform, the jobs simply run and succeed without any other assistance needed. It is set and forget, replacing a solution that required daily work to verify/validate/fix issues from the backups. Instant restore is not instant, but sub 1 minute, which is very fast to recover. Cons As it started working from most used to least used features, some edge case backups are not supported. No SQL filestream for transaction log backups, no support for smaller database vendors native products. Review Source Opeyemi O. English Teacher Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "rubrik review" December 26, 2018 5.0 Pros prior to the discovery of rubrik and how amazing it works, i had to babysit and personally monitor all of the backups that are ongoing, now, with rubrik, i have more time to myself as i do not have to be there for backups to be take, rubrik just takes care of them all the way i would have done if i was there to monitor it. The live recovery feature is a bomb as it is almost instantaneous. Cons The lack of first party tools for native application level understanding is really irking, although the developers are making up for this by the implementation of third party tools, but i feel they are not the best and mire needs to be done. Review Source JW Jerad W. Information Security Analyst Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy Corporate Backup" December 27, 2018 5.0 This software is robust, yet easy to use. I definitely recommend Rubrik if you have servers with information that needs to be retained. Pros Finding backups across multiple servers and drives was a painless task with Rubrik. Navigating to the file or folder you needed to recover was easy and the recovery process was short. Cons Depending on the size of the file being recovered, it would take quite a bit of time to restore the file and then you would have to wait on it to be downloaded. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Helpdesk Escalation Technician Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Works Great but Lacking as a Overall Solution" July 10, 2018 4.0 Allows us to backup one of our environments across several different locations / servers and have it viewable from one central dashboard. Pros Dashboard interface is extremely easy to use for real time tracking of backups. Great customer support if you experience any issues. Cons Interface is somewhat all over the place when it comes to checking the status of recently run backups causing us to experience delays when tracking which are successfully completed vs those with errors.

The sql backups can be missed if the server is too busy but this is a pro too Review Source AR Arulprasad R. IT consultant Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "It was a a next gen Product , with we being a Vmware shop the product is doing a amazing job" March 6, 2018 4.0 Pros Ease of Use/ Deduplication, Restore capability with ease/ Archival capability. The UI is easy to use. The Recovery of VM is much easier to use with variety of options to choose from cloud mount to local live ount. Cons Bare metal recovery of physical servers, Limitation with thier edge devices. The Edge device doe not fit a profile for backing up a 5 VM's as of today as thier Space contraints takes much space in our datatastore. The uploads are limited with one per session from edge devices Review Source LJ Lewis J. Network Engineer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The experience with Rubrik has been a great experience from POC to installing and using Rubrik. " March 8, 2018 5.0 Not many dislikes about the product but would like NAS backup speeds to be faster but I have seen improvements with each software updates with new features. Pros The ease of use knowing that the product works and you can verify by the Gui and reports. I like how fast software updates are applied. Review Source MS Mayur S. Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best encryption and data recovery software." November 7, 2022 4.0 Pros The software is best for data recovery as well as encrypting all your database. Cons Till now I don't find any disadvantage of this software. Review Source CH Cory H. Director and Technical Account Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The Rubrik platform is very easy to deploy and simple to manage. " March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros The software is built really well with an easy look and feel. The backups can be run automatically on several different schedules and the recovery time on the appliance can be completed in minutes. Cons The only Con is not a direct integration to tape backup. It requires a third party solution that is an additional purchase with and additional support contract. Review Source Emeka O. Ambassador for The Technology Innovation Scholars Program Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Every business with data in the cloud needs this!" May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros Rubrik is very quick and smooth. It has a smooth interface and a attractive design. I also like the fact that it has universal support for both Windows and Linux . Cons Pricing might seem high, but it's fully worth the functionality that this tool provides!

Manager, Building and IT infrastructure Oil & Energy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Rubrik works really great, the compression and deduplication rate are incredible!" March 19, 2018 5.0 No more broken snapshots caused by a proxy crash Pros Management is very simple and intuitive Compression and deduplication is incredible It ingests data really fast, reducing the amount of time for backups Archiving is made very simple through the cloud storage integration Cons The restore of application items like emails from Exchange or tables within databases has to be done with a 3rd party software, it's not integrated inside Rubrik Review Source AZ Adi Z. System TL Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Next gen of backup platform" March 7, 2018 4.0 Save time and effort! Pros Simplicity in implementation \\ configuration and usage. Scale out platform are good for grows over time. Cons Real time diagnostics and 3rd party use for backup to tapes are the two factors that might improve the usage overall impression. Review Source JM Justin M. Senior Systems Architect Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Simple install, simpler integration, simplest management" March 7, 2018 5.0 Time savings. Pros The simplicity compared to other solutions we have used.

Pros This facilitates set of features like data archiving, recovery and backup and analytics. This has a simple web-based interface that allows users to manage and monitor their data protection and management activities. Cons I have been using this for few months now and I haven't experienced anything bad. Review Source SG Sheena G. owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great experience" May 15, 2018 4.0 Pros From setup to management very efficient. Manage physical, virtual, and cloud apps in one easy-to-use interface. Cons Nothing much really, but if I had to say would be the cost but its a pretty great software so I don't mind. Review Source LE Luis E. Analist Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A backup system that always works" March 16, 2018 5.0 Look at it as one of a two system backup strategy for protecting your organizations data. Pros You can just set up the system to make an backup and never fails, you don't need to be on the computer watching if its doing anything. Also the Live recovery is very fast, you almost don't notice it. Cons Some features missing that are road-mapped for future versions of the software such as support for SQL file-streams.
