Rubrik

Vorteile

Instant recovery of VMs using the direct mount feature of Rubrik.
Ability to archive your backups to cloud storage.
Ease of use

Nachteile

Pricing and complex licensing options and naming of the features.
Limited integration options with opensource virtualization solutions like Proxmox/KVM etc.

Vorteile

Rubrik has changed our whole approach to backup and DR, has simplified and we no longer wait for backups to finish, knowing everything is secure and immutable is a great weight off our minds

Nachteile

cost, can be pricey to get system configured for full DR solution
support can be slow, we seem to get west coast USA support if we log tickets from the UK, takes a day to then get assistance

Vorteile

Rubrik is used to protect 1,000+ objects in my environment with 90%+ being VMware virtual machines. It is being used across the whole organization, globally, with three clusters existing to support our global initiatives. It provides backup protection for my objects and also provides a way to migrate certain data profiles into the cloud.

Searchable Content - search for file across datasets allows for quick restores.

Nachteile

I am patiently awaiting the release of 4.1 which should bring massive improvements to the functionality of the system as well as add additional features missing from the product. I feel Rubrik is well suited for customers that want to run high amount of snapshots per day and wish for a lower RPO granularity for restore. It is less appropriate for perhaps customers that want to run all their backups in one evening because of how jobs are queued and spread across the backup window.

Missing functionality - allow for more granular intervals across different time segments.

Vorteile

Rubrik is bringing simplicity where usually complexity is the rule. It helps to secure your data, your environment and can detect data loss and damages before they are actually reported

Nachteile

I don't dislike anything about Rubrik, may be a bit too early to announce new feature before having them GA

Vorteile

The web management portal is fast, api-based from the start, and top notch customer service and account teams. They have recovered all systems for me in the past and work quickly to resolve any issues. Non-stop updates for the product to add features and fix bugs.

Nachteile

The reporting and filtering continues to need improvement though they have been adding features along the way. The AWS-hosted clusters are not as stable as the hosted hardware clusters but never any data loss in either case.
