What is our primary use case?
My clients primarily use it for for backing up enterprise workloads like VMs, databases, and other enterprise products.
I work for an IT service company. I design solutions for our customers and use many Rubrik services, including Rubrik Cloud Vault, Office 365 protection, and data center protection. So, I design and implement, and my team supports the solutions.
How has it helped my organization?
Rubrik is an important tool for data recovery in case of a ransomware attack. It's a crucial part of their overall venture, as data recovery would be difficult without it.
The guarantee of data restoration in a crisis is the main benefit.
It's a combination of all features that offer value, like ransomware remediation and sensitive data discovery, that are better than other solutions.

How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup is very easy and not complex at all.
Deployment process:
We plan, design, and track everything. If it's in a data center, racking and cabling are done. Then, we integrate with VMware, the application manager, and deploy the VMs.
If it's a public cloud, it's a similar process, but we have to submit changes to the organization.
Deployment time:
It depends, but in a data center, we can be up and running in one to four weeks.
We have multiple customers, so we work with different versions.
What about the implementation team?
For deployment resources, we usually need two people with minimal support from the data center for facilities, network, and security.
What was our ROI?
We haven't calculated the exact ROI, but it is a bit higher. Sometimes, customers hesitate initially due to the cost.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
It is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
I would recommend using it.
Identify your specific feature requirements, compare different Rubrik versions (Foundation, Business, Enterprise), and carefully consider sizing to avoid overbuying.
Overall, I would rate the solution a nine out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
A easy-to-deploy solution with masterless architecture and good SaaS support
How has it helped my organization?
In terms of automation, Rubrik has improved data management processes. It allows for automated backups without configuring the VMware server directly, using scripts to rotate backups to the VPN source automatically.
What is most valuable?
I think the best feature is its masterless architecture. Unlike other backup tools that require a controller server and media server setup, Rubrik eliminates the need to purchase additional hardware, making deployment more straightforward with a single console. Rubrik's SaaS support allows for easy deployment of on-premises and cloud backups. Compared to other backup solutions, Rubrik has a more console-based approach, which means Rubrik's backend team supports significant issues. I also find that Rubrik offers cost savings compared to other vendors due to its bundled license, allowing you to do everything with one license.
What needs improvement?
One improvement I would suggest for Rubrik is to have an inbuilt media layer facility for direct backups to tape. Currently, this requires involving a third-party partner like QSR for backup integration. Additionally, Rubrik could improve security measures for Oracle database backups by enhancing Oracle database-level capabilities. It also offers limited capabilities for backup administrators to explore and analyze backup failures. I haven't had direct experience with it yet, but I believe Rubrik is working on incorporating AI into its data management capabilities. It's gaining traction in the market, especially in India, over the last few years. I can only provide more feedback once we assess its effectiveness in data security and overall performance compared to other tools like NetBackup and Commvault.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have two years of experience using Rubrik.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I would rate stability around eight out of ten. Stability is uncertain because Rubrik is a relatively new product, having only been around for four years. So, I can't definitively say how stable it is. However, based on my experience, I haven't encountered any significant stability issues. Compared to other backup solutions like IBM Tivoli, which was known for its stability in the market, Rubrik is still establishing itself in terms of stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Rubrik is a scalable solution, rated around nine out of ten for scalability.
How are customer service and support?
We submit a support request and promptly receive an email from the annual support team. Overall, I find the support satisfactory.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, I've worked with multiple backup technologies, including NetBackup, EMC Avamar, Networker, and Commvault.
How was the initial setup?
Rubrik's setup is relatively straightforward, rating around eight out of ten. The deployment method can be chosen based on your needs, supporting both on-premises and cloud deployments.Typically, the initial setup takes about two to four hours. In contrast, the entire backup setup duration varies depending on the organization's size and requirements, ranging from one week to a month.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Rubrik is fairly priced.
What other advice do I have?
I can recommend Rubrik, but it depends on each user's specific needs and environment. Assessing your company's requirements and infrastructure is crucial before deciding on any product. Overall, I would rate Rubrik a nine out of ten.
