Eon vs. Rubrik

Rubrik’s cloud architecture relies on virtual infrastructure that your team must deploy and maintain. This includes provisioning cloud resources like EC2 instances, block storage, and network configuration — often separately in each cloud or region. The result is higher operational overhead, slower time-to-value, and added cost billed directly to your own cloud account.

Eon is fully cloud-native and agentless with no infrastructure to deploy, no scripts to maintain, and zero customer compute usage.

Rubrik relies on manual tagging and static backup policies, increasing configuration drift and operational burden. Eon’s Cloud Backup Posture Management (CBPM) automates everything:

• Auto-discovers cloud resources (no tags required)
• Classifies data and workloads by compliance tier
• Applies backup policies based on actual business risk
• Validates posture during backup, not just at restore

Rubrik’s recovery flow requires full instance restores and warm provisioning (Lazy Restore), introducing unpredictable delays.

Eon supports:

• Instant file, table, or database record recovery
• Global snapshot search
• No need to rehydrate full systems
• Consistently low RTOs and deterministic restores
• Restores across clouds

Rubrik provides basic immutability but lacks real threat detection. Eon includes:

• Real-time entropy and anomaly detection
• EDR integration and system-level monitoring
• Retention of clean snapshots even past expiry
• File comparison and clean restore tooling built-in

Rubrik customers often face unnecessary costs:

• S3 versioning inflates storage via 128KB rounding
• Cross-region replication duplicates snapshots
• No support for incremental S3 backup
• Licensing for ransomware modules adds overhead

Eon avoids these pitfalls:

• Deduplicated, incremental backup
• Converts backups into a Parquet-based data lake
• Single-copy cross-region restore
• No versioning waste
• All core modules included in base pricing
