Though this tool lacks the features to allow backups on the same server, it is very easy to use
During the current times, solutions must have a backup system from a main server, and an active directory service. Also, it is no longer important to have a backup for different environments, such as databases, application servers, and web servers. However, ManageEngine RecoveryManager Plus must get a main server for itself.

Reliable automated backups have protected critical databases and simplified recoveries for our operations
Portal identity management should improve. We end up losing people's identity, which was not sufficient enough to read the events. That was the only place I could see for improvement. They keep changing the layouts and descriptions, giving the user confusion if they have not used it for maybe three months. When they come back, the interface is changed. They lost the legacy support, and it is not consistent. Some of the options for the restore give a very hard time for the engineer if they come back after three months to use it because the phrases have changed completely. That is why they were not able to select whether they should select this option or should select another option. Where it comes from, the documentation we gave them does not match anymore. That was a challenge.My consultation part was about how to integrate the technology with each other for the platform or storage or database. I did not deal with any price metrics or scaling the storage. I have no idea about the pricing part. I never joined any meetings or any documents to disclose the pricing. It was quite good in general. Recently, in March 2025, they did a new update which enabled them to update their agents remotely and built in, in-place mode. That is bringing the cybersecurity perspective. That was a big challenge. I said it is a challenge, but I do not know because I left the company, so I am not sure if cybersecurity addressed the solution. Rubrik support is usually very accommodating and very flexible. I am not sure, but the last challenge I saw was that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Along with its active directory infrastructure, this solution also possesses the ability to recover and exchange, making it a valuable backup tool."
"The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The thing that sets Rubrik apart is the instant recovery feature."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from Rubrik is its protection against ransomware attacks."
"The live mount reduces complexity."
"Disk mount that lets a restore happen immediately, no need to re-hydrate."
"The tech support is extremely helpful."
"Rubrik has automation capabilities that help streamline my workflows."
 

Cons

"The solution has few features as it does not focus on managing anything in the application."
"Troubleshooting failed backups is not what it should be. Once you gather logs, deciphering them without the help of support is usually almost impossible."
"Setup is immediate but pricing is not cheap."
"Rubrik is expensive."
"Its cost is high."
"I would improve the cost part of Rubrik; they should improve in that area."
"Initially, we encountered compatibility challenges with some of our technologies."
"We would like to see more support for Hyper-V."
"I would like to have a built-in index searching ability of files/system files within the Rubrik interface to determine if a file or item exists, rather than just recovering it, and then doing a search for the file afterwards."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license cost for this solution is cheap."
"As a technical person, I don't have the details, but from what I have heard, it can be expensive."
"I rate the pricing an eight on a scale of one to ten, where one is low, and ten is high."
"Rubrik's competitive pricing and strong return on investment make it a compelling choice, especially compared to alternatives like Data Domain and Avamar. Commvault was considered but deemed too expensive."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"There are additional costs like maintenance, and there are some features on their central management piece that don't come with our licensing."
"Rubrik is an expensive solution."
"It is a great value, but its cost is still a bit high."
"The product is not cheap, but for good reason. It simply works and is very fast."
