"Very user-friendly and the QSA is very good."
"This product has unique capabilities that lead the product category in test data management, cloning and recovery."
"They will assist me in achieving whatever budget issue the client may be having."
"I don't know if it is the best or the worst but it's very easy to install and very easy to balance. Sometimes that it's a problem because the installer of these data gets extremely scared because it's so easy. The product is easy to install, easy to balance, and easy to work with. Another really good point is the instant recovery."
"In terms of usage, Rubrik has allowed us to retrieve data 80 to 90 percent faster than our previous technology."
"Takes me 80 percent less time to manage my backup environment."
"Rubrik is stable and easy to use."
"The feature that I found most valuable is Live Mount. You can either mount a virtual machine from a snapshot, or you can mount a volume from the snapshot. You can mount one disk to the server to retrieve data, or you can mount the whole VM, rename it, and use it as a test VM. If your VM gets corrupted, you just mount one from the snapshot, and you have your production VM's backup. So, Live Mount is definitely the best feature for me as an end-user."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"One platform for instant recovery."
"Rubrik has improved our organization by minimizing downtime."
"Lacks the option to price backup costs within the solution itself."
"Areas that need improvement would be the support for recovery in the physical environment."
"Google has stopped supporting the on-premise version of the tool."
"The solution doesn't support AIX software or in-cloud, and we have a lot of servers running on AIX and Oracle."
"While the product does support various databases, the company needs to make more of an effort to support N-minus-one compatibility."
"The initial setup is complex."
"It would be nice if they could work on the pricing a bit."
"It is already very well furnished, but live mounts for Nutanix AHV would be amazing."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients."
"Needs integration with video CD (coming in the next release) and a multi-tenant GUI."
"The reporting, in particular the customization of reports, needs to be improved."
"The open source database needs to be supported."
"The Polaris piece could use improvement. When you get a report and you have events that are suspicious, you cannot drill down and find out why it's suspicious. You only know it's suspicious, but you don't know the root cause. Other than that, everything works well."
"It needs to support more applications natively, like MySQL/MariaDB."
