It's also mitigated us against any future data centre blackouts through its Azure replication capabilities - while significantly reducing our power consumption and footprint in the data centre.
Pros
Data immutability 4. Single platform 5.

Out of the box reporting could be better - However the API interface allows the generation of custom reports and the ability to retrieve any detail from the system

Allows us to backup one of our environments across several different locations / servers and have it viewable from one central dashboard.
Pros
Dashboard interface is extremely easy to use for real time tracking of backups.

Interface is somewhat all over the place when it comes to checking the status of recently run backups causing us to experience delays when tracking which are successfully completed vs those with errors.

Much better ROI over traditional data protection solutions like Avamar.

Only starting to support in-guest agents for application and database consistent backups.

Look at it as one of a two system backup strategy for protecting your organizations data.
Pros
You can just set up the system to make an backup and never fails, you don't need to be on the computer watching if its doing anything.
Cons
Some features missing that are road-mapped for future versions of the software such as support for SQL file-streams.

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

Nothing bad about this product. The product performs well and efficiently. Pricing is a different issue because you pay what you get and this product delivers well so it's expected.

Not many dislikes about the product but would like NAS backup speeds to be faster but I have seen improvements with each software updates with new features.
Pros
Ease of Use/ Deduplication, Restore capability with ease/ Archival capability. The UI is easy to use.
Cons
Bare metal recovery of physical servers, Limitation with thier edge devices. The Edge device doe not fit a profile for backing up a 5 VM's as of today as thier Space contraints takes much space in our datatastore. The uploads are limited with one per session from edge devices

Pros
It doesn't matter if anyone creates a new VM as this can be targeted automatically via the policies to ensure its backed up and your RPO's and RTO's are met.
Cons
Just needs more SSO and 2FA but to be fair they are ahead of many vendors, just worth checking with an SE if yours is supported

We haven't progressed far enough with the product to see value to our overall business objectives.
Pros
It provides backup protection for my objects and also provides a way to migrate certain data profiles into the cloud.
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.
