About Rubrik
Rubrik is cloud data management solution which allows users to manage and automate data backup, offsite replication, archiving, and data recovery through a single platform.
Rubrik can be used to manage data backup and recovery for cloud applications, with a suite of RESTful APIs for orchestrating backup, replication, archiving, disaster recovery, and more. Protection policies can be created in the built-in policy engine and mapped to business SLAs, for automatic execution. Application-consistent backups are available for SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SQL Server, and Oracle RDBMS, delivering data consistency.
The predictive search allows users to locate files, applications, databases, and virtual machines (VMs), to deliver near-zero RTOs (recovery time objectives). Customized visual reports can be created and shared, giving users insight into compliance, operational efficiency, and capacity utilization, and reports can also be scheduled for delivery by email.

Rubrik has allowed us to stop focusing on the minutiae of running a homegrown backup storage/orchestration product and focus on automation of the infrastructure/deployment instead
Rubrik has improved the performance of our backup jobs, allowing us to perform more backups with fewer resources overall
Rubrik has given our clients more choice in how backups function
Pros
The Rubrik API is central to the product
Rubrik backs up VMware-based VM very well
Rubrik is a growing company, which makes the personal interaction we have with their folks very rewarding and productive
Cons
The Rubrik product is still young (only a few years old), so it has some room to mature, specifically in the non-VMware backup space
Rubrik is a growing company, so sometimes it's difficult to build a relationship with tech support staff when you get a new person every time

One of the Best Purchases I've Ever Made

There was one time that a fellow admin permanently deleted some backups without receiving confirmation on if they were still needed. It turned out that they were still needed and that the backups would be unrecoverable. There were multiple prompts to confirm this action, so we should not have expected it to be recoverable. However, the fantastic support team at Rubrik said "We can't make any promises, because the data should be deleted already. However, we're going to have our engineers use this as an educational experiment." While they were not able to recover all of the data, as it had been overwritten, they were able to piece together enough for us to get the most critical files. I have never seen a support team go this above and beyond the reasonable call of duty.
Pros
The Rubrik appliance is reliable, has a robust feature set, their support team is world-class (seriously the best in the game), and updates add awesome new features far more often than new bugs.
Cons
It can be a little pricey for small to mid size businesses, but It's well worth that cost. Other than that I have zero complaints.

Pros
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.
Cons
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.

Easy to install. Support is excellent. The product has saved us a few times with production servers going down. Instant recover is great.
Pros
Setup was a breeze. Easy to create SLAs depending on how many snapshots you want of each vm. Migration to either azure or aws is also handy. Customer support is excellent.
Cons
No cons at this point in time as we've had no issues whatsoever with the product.
