Point-in-time restore capabilities are built into the storage appliance
Our first impression when we were introduced to the product was very good. I still think it's very good. They are truly different. The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that. I'd rate it a 10 out of 10 because it does everything that we have asked it to do.

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

"The BackDating feature which allows us to go back to any point in the past at one second granularity, is an amazing feature and allows us to recover from any mishap to our data – whether it's a malware attack, an application error or a human error. We have never seen this capability in any other storage product."
"Reduxio offers a very simple, elegant user interface (design) to manage it."
"It's very intuitive, has a very modern interface. Instead of making the user set up a million parameters for things that the system knows better anyway, they put all the intelligence in the product and made the controls much easier."
"Improves the response of the VMs by having the most used portions on the flashcache."
"The whole product is based on point-in-time restore capabilities built into their storage appliance, and no one else I know does that."
"Write latency is averaging way under a millisecond."
"Takes advantage of deduplication and compression through as much of the content of VMs which are similar."
"Instant recovery through its continuous data protection."
"Rubrik can also serve as a secondary host for emergency recoveries."
"Rubrik has made the process to manage backup and recovery painless. This frees up more time to work on other projects."
"Rubrik is an easy and automatic solution that needs no manual intervention."
"I can tell you that it was one of the best decisions we have made."
"Rubrik's customer service is excellent."
"With this new product, Rubrik, we walked into it blind, not being backup admins, and it made a lot of sense to us."
"Adaptative backup and SLAs simply allow you to tell a machine to backup without taking care of the backup window."
"The Auto-Snapshot SLA feature and recovery time are amazing. It took seven seconds to have a server back up and running in production from a total failure."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to have the ability to recover virtual machines individually without having to restore the full LUN."
"A centralized management would be nice, the ability to manage all cluster in one management portal."
"They're trying to do this, but they need to show more what their growth plan is, the development, what the next steps are, the future."
"Scalability. Reduxio has only one product, they don’t have an option, for now, to expand the storage product."
"I would love to see deeper integration with VMware vSphere/vCenter. Right now, I can edit existing Reduxio datastore sizes in the vSphere web client. Provisioning new datastores that way would be nice."
"The ability to look at data at a file level would be useful, as well as the ability recover at that level. Right now, you can only recover whole volumes."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile app to monitor the storage array remotely."
"We had a single failure of the device but believe that it was tied to the server losing contact with our NTP server due to DNS issues. As Reduxio is very time-dependent, losing sync made the entire array unstable."
"In terms of what could be improved with Rubrik, we need to improve the backup for remote sites. The competitors are stronger in terms of their remote office back up. Rubrik needs to improve to be stronger for backup. This is the main thing."
"Lacks availability in a NFR format of virtual appliances to test them in public cloud environment."
"The solution could improve by having fewer VM Stuns."
"With multiple Rubrik clusters setup in an environment, it becomes painfully obvious that this product needs a central management console."
"When errors do occur, it can be a somewhat painful process to get to the bottom of issues."
"There are some corner cases where the Rubrik Connector (Agent) still doesn't work for our clients, but Rubrik Engineering listens to our feedback and has been delivering the features that we have been asking for over the last year, so we are confident that they will knock those out soon, as well."
"The Office 365 protection could be improved."
"Portal identity management should improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All of their new features that were released following our purchase are free of charge. For example, we are about to upgrade getting cloud integration for free."
"They have very competitive pricing and were able to work within our budget constraints as a public school."
"Set up costs are minimal. We were early adopters so we received really good pricing."
"I think that you are able to buy a minimum capacity, then grow your capacity within the box as you expand your data needs."
"It was the best price for capacity and speed on a hybrid array I could find."
"For less money than my previous solution, I receive way more performance and backup features that far surpass anything on the market."
"They are very competitive in pricing, so I would definitely recommend Reduxio."
"The pricing and licensing were favorable.​"
"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."
"It is an expensive product."
"The solution is expensive for small businesses."
"The setup cost is a bit high, but the solution is an all-in-one solution."
"I don't remember the cost, but I know that for Veeam, we were spending almost $250,000 a year for 205 licenses. It was an enterprise version. When we purchased Rubrik, it was just a little bit more. It was not a terribly huge amount, and if I recall, that was for three years of support as well. So, Veeam priced itself out of the market at a certain point in time."
"I rate the tool's pricing a six out of ten."
"We do perpetual licensing... It was all based on the amount of storage we needed to use. We did a cost analysis compared to Tivoli and it was in line with other solutions."
"You pay a premium for Rubrik, but you're getting a premium service that comes with immutable backups, instant recovery, and world-class support."
