Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's a very straightforward product that is well integrated with everything."
"The solution is easy to install; our team just has to put together the plan, give it to IT and let them handle it. Other solutions are quite complex, but this is much simpler."
"Rubrik Go's best feature is data visualization."
"Rubrik Go is very simple to use."
"It has an easy-to-use interface that is not complicated."
"Even though the data is already in the cloud, it's an AWS, so by accessing the on-prem appliance you can still search because it is indexed from that appliance."
"We use the solution as a backup for our virtual environment and SQL databases."
"The standout feature is its ransomware protection capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the storage efficiency, as the storage footprint is very good."
 

Cons

"In the next release, I would like to see better prices for the licenses."
"Rubrik Go's security visibility could be improved."
"Being a modern backup solution, Rubrik should have an option to back up a Kubernetes cluster."
"Integration with the client is something that needs to be improved."
"I would like to see better integration with applications, such as those from Microsoft, to make backing up from those applications simpler."
"Reporting could be improved. For now, it's only exported to CSB files."
"If you're going for Rubrik, you are not opting for the tape library because Rubrik doesn't have the fiber cable connected to the tape library."
"The tool's pricing needs to be improved."
"If you were to compare it to, say, EMC, the availability of the documentation, training programs, and end-user education aren't as good. Rubrik could improve this."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a perpetual license."
"It's an expensive product if you compare it to traditional backup solutions; however, if you compare it as a total cost of ownership for a solution, it is not."
"Rubrick Go is quite expensive - I would rate its pricing four out of ten."
"Rubrik Go is more cost-effective than similar solutions by other vendors."
"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution's costs are monthly."
"This is a very costly solution."
