IBM Security Guardium is better with its compatibility and integration methods and compatibility matrix, the other products don't cover all the database motors that IBM Guardium can do, regarding to brand, versions and editions of the database motors, IBM support and licensing …
Especially cost, we use both products, but cost, we use Imperva a lot and other databases, but cloud is where we are really looking for a new differentiator. That's where I would say we still don't have anybody in that space here. Especially it can identify the risks related to …
Well, like I say, there's a couple out there that do this kind of thing as well. So TRX being one of the ones that do something in this space too. Also very good product. I don't think there's a lot between them to be honest. We have IBM as a partner in my organization so they …
The integration is excellent. Versatile deployment options are an advantage of using it. The ability to easily complete vulnerability assessments with comparable scores and observe activity in our data environment is one of the best features. In order to improve our security …
You can not learn Imperva within 1 year. The interface is complicated and difficult to understand. Additionally, Impervan's product scope is not as broad as Guardium's. Guardium is ahead in this regard with its other modules. At Imperva, product admin and access manager are not …
IBM Security Guardium uses advanced technologies, such as behavioral analysis and machine learning, to detect and respond to security threats in real time. This enables more accurate detection and faster response to threats compared to other similar software.
IBM Security Guardium provides many more features and capabilities than all the other tools evaluated for this decision. To begin with, there are limited databases that are supported by other database security tools. None of the other evaluated tools have the ability to mask …
IBM Security Guardium is a perfect tool that is a little bit more costly than other tools available on the market. But as compared to features this tool provides a lot of features that can help to detect the anomalies in the data and even help to identify the advanced threats …

Networker is really heavy in terms of learning, though it also offers a lot of features and has advantages where no good network connection is available (compression, before sending the data, Rubrik globally dedups) and Networker still offfers tape support. But we decided to …
We selected Rubrik due to the greater support it has for our Hyperconverged platform, Namely, Nutanix AHV. Both the sales pitch and initial support was more rounded than Cohesity and inspired more confidence in the product, Rubrik were able to demo everything we were planning …
Selected Rubrik due to API driven, modern easy to use interface and appliances in a scale out architecture with a secure file system protecting backup data
Veeam was our previous backup option. The downside of Veeam compared to Rubrik is Veeam live inside the VM which is prone to hackers if they got access to VM. Rubrik has its own appliance and MFA is mandatory for Rubrik so that's the main reason we moved over to Rubrik.
Was over 5 years ago when we made the comparison but LOVED that Rubrik was a software and hardware solution with no finger pointing. Solution met all needs and was a turnkey product. Has been easy to maintain and grow over the years.
There is no comparison, Rubrik worked right out of the box and even has support for IBM DB2 databases. Patches and upgrades have been performed without any issues. Database backups are run using default settings without any noticeable impact on the databases/servers and …
I can't knock on Druva other than that their cost was higher than Rubrik, which is why we ultimately went with Rubrik. Veeam was too complicated for a simpleton like myself, and the feature set of Rubrik was exactly what we needed.
Having all our backups under one umbrella made product management easier, with not need to manage myltip contracts.
The additional analysis of the data after the fact gave insights into our user data, without the need for an addition product, or the impact on live data sets.
Rubrik is a more straightforward product to implement and manage. We mainly went with Rubrik for security reasons like ransomware protection and immutable database.
When I used Netvault in the past the interface was NOT intuitive especially when it came to setting up new jobs and adding new VM's to an existing backup job schedule. Adding a new VM used to take me approximately 45 minutes to make sure that everything was assigned properly. …
The biggest thing that Rubrik gave us over using Veeam is the secure appliances. We don't have to have another server to manage that simply runs the backup software, we have a managed appliance with a single update interface. Veeam backup and restore works just as well, but …
rubrik is much easier to deploy and manage. in so many ways. support is much better. sales is much better. customer involvement and response for features is much better. commvault is more granular but that hasn't hurt us. it takes less time to add new instances and less time on …
Of all the tools Cohesity was the closest to Rubrik but the lack of Nutanix support was the deciding factor for us. HYCU is native to Nutanix but without the Nutanix Objects the deduping rate was limited. Veratas fell in the older school classification of process that did …
Comprehensive Technical Comparison requirement gathering and features mapping with requirement Rubrik Team Technical competencies ensures that all area gets covered and product/solution addresses all corners.
Veeam was evaluated as an alternative, however, Rubrik had tighter integration with other infrastructure in the stack, such as storage. Rubrik, being primarily a hardware appliance can be installed much more rapidly.
We felt the solution provided by Rubrik better aligned with our business needs. Nothing wrong with the other solutions. But we thing we've made the right decision.
Rubrik has smaller footprint of hardware compared to the competition and ease of operations. The software is a bit more stable and allows the scaling of the infra in a much easier way and manage. The polaris tool / reporting module is very easy for management to look at the …
It checks many boxes when it comes to security. It allows you to see all the DB activity that goes on, report on it, and send it to SIEM. The analytics part extends this product even more. The investigation dashboard makes it easier to find outliers or specifics without running queries or reports.
Rubrik is great for large enterprises but might not fit the best for smaller sized companies with low backup demands. We have had to restore virtual machines quickly , and Rubrik's quick mount on solid state was tremendous at getting the client back running. The only negative is the mac address changed even though we had checked retain mac. We had to go back into vmware and set it.
Easy onboarding. We were able to make a connection to our M365 environment in less than 5 minutes, and backups were processing within just a couple minutes after that.
Good customer service. From sales to post-implementation, the staff at Rubrik were helpful, professional, and focused on me.
Set and forget. Outside of regular test restores, I don't have to worry about constantly trying to tweak settings within the Rubrik console to get it working better. It just works.
It is a perfect system to detect problems that we do not see manually, it is light, with a very simple learning curve and with great protection of our data, we will use it forever.
The support has been incredible. Any time we have had a question, it has always been answered within 24hrs. Also, the team is always will to hop on a Zoom call to help walk us through the dashboard and troubleshoot any issues we are having. Also, having the peace of mind that our data is protected should anything happen in our system.
It might look complex in the beginning but once you get hold of it by going through all of the documentation then it seems to be very smooth. The configuration is comparatively easy and the user can understand it on their own without any external help. The overall learning curve is Ok.
The GUI was successfully designed to be very easy to use and work through. It is a very logical work flow that is easy to navigate and just makes sense. That is part of the charm when in the moment of stress, you can still find your way around and accomplish the desired recovery.
Rubrik's brik is designed with redundancy in mind, ensuring that if one node experiences issues, others can continue to provide backup and recovery services.
There has been great support coming from IBM. It is easy to use and a great way to keep our data secure. I would recommend this to other possible users and if I were to move companies, I would recommend we use this there too. Thank you
Rubrik support is hands down some of the best product support we have. They know their product and are quick to assist. Submitting support cases is easier and they are very responsive. You don't have to use Rubrik support often but when you do they have your back.
Easy to follow and very thorough. Trainer was knowledgeable and helpful answering any questions and providing detailed answers where possible. It's also nice to gain another badge :) There is also the Rubrik University online tutorials to refer back to and keep updated with new innovations. I would say the exam was very hard.
From experience the implementation was smooth and easy, like a simple plug and play format but would need coordination from your network team to be able to see the entire IT infrastructure.

Very easy to add new 'briks' (or nodes as everyone else calls them :P) as long as the network is plugged in and configured, the briks will discuss among themselves and welcome the new comer into the cluster
