COMMVAULT® CLOUD VS. RUBRIK

Cloud Data Security that Comes in a Box? Take a Rubrik Reality Check.

Rubrik bills itself as a security cloud offering a “unified platform for zero-trust data security.” In reality, they are just an appliance hiding behind a VM. Only Commvault Cloud offers true cyber resilience in the cloud that offers the highest security, the most advanced intelligence, and the fastest recovery from a single pane of glass.

Commvault vs. rubrik

True cloud cyber resilience that delivers in every category 

Commvault

  • Built-in data security 

    Core data security features are built directly into our code – no third-party applications or separate tools needed.

    The result?

    Always-available critical threat prevention features you can rely on.

Rubrik

  • Dependent on separate tools

    Rubrik’s ransomware detection and recovery features rely on cloud-based Polaris and Radar tools, which are not built into their core platform.

    The result?
    Increased risk that your data and systems will be completely cut off from the very tools that “protect” them.

Commvault

  • Proactive: Earlier detection and response

    Commvault Cloud provides a layered approach to threat detection, looking beyond the recovery environment to actively monitor the live data.

    The result?

    Earlier warning of potential threats and the ability to quickly respond and mitigate any impact.

Rubrik

  • Reactive: Limited and delayed response

    Rubrik’s ransomware detection features can only monitor their own backup data – they have no means to monitor (or “hunt”) the live production environment for threats.

    The result?

    Damage has already been done by the time a threat has been detected.

Commvault

  • Any workload. Anywhere.

    Commvault Cloud supports the broadest spectrum of data platforms, workloads, and cloud-native applications. Powered by Metallic® AI, Commvault Cloud makes it easy to protect your cloud-native workloads and apps, plus SaaS, Kubernetes and M365 data.

    The result?

    Consistent and integrated security for all of your data, wherever it lives.

Rubrik

  • Limited protection coverage

    Rubrik is much more limited in terms of what data they can even back up. Rubrik lacks support for critical workloads like Azure Data Lake, Oracle Cloud, and many other cloud-native databases and applications.

    The result?

    Patchwork protection that requires more tools and creates more complexity.

Commvault

  • Build. Scale. Grow.

    Commvault Cloud customers can choose a mix of appliance, reference architecture, virtual, cloud, and even SaaS to best fit their evolving business needs. Plus, features like global deduplication, dynamic provisioning and power management reduce infrastructure costs on premises and in the cloud.

    The result?

    The ability to build and scale your environment with one solution, all at the industry’s lowest TCO.

Rubrik

  • More and more appliances

    While Rubrik tries to position themselves as having a SaaS solution, their customers need to deploy expensive virtual appliances in the cloud just to get basic application-consistent backups and deduplication.

    The result?

    Appliances in the cloud that are difficult to scale down, adding up to more cost and complexity.

Customer testimonials

What our customers are saying

“We evaluated various vendors including Rubrik, Veeam, and Dell but decided Commvault was the best fit because of its single pane of glass for management and the ability to back up Microsoft 365 and Salesforce Cloud without using a third-party product.”
