Eon vs. Rubrik

Rubrik’s cloud architecture relies on virtual infrastructure that your team must deploy and maintain, including EC2 instances, block storage, and network configuration, often separately in each cloud or region. Even in agentless mode, Rubrik orchestrates native AWS snapshots from within your environment, introducing compute costs and storage inefficiencies. Archival mode adds costly API usage and increases TCO.

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

Rubrik relies on manual tagging and static backup policies, which increases the risk of missed coverage, configuration drift, and operational overhead.

Eon’s Cloud Backup Posture Management (CBPM) automates the full lifecycle:

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

‍

Rubrik’s recovery experience leaves key gaps for teams needing fast, precise, cross-cloud recovery:

• No support for backing up across cloud providers into AWS
• No direct database querying on backup data
• No ability to restore individual records, tables, or namespaces from databases

Eon, by contrast, supports:

• Instant file, table, or database record recovery
• Direct backup search and granular restore (no rehydration needed)
• Global snapshot search
• Consistently low RTOs with application-ready data
• Restores across cloud providers

Rubrik provides basic immutability but lacks advanced threat detection and recovery depth.

Eon includes:

• Entropy and anomaly detection (not just static alerts)
• File-level comparison and clean restore tooling built-in
• Retention of clean snapshots past expiry for last-known-good recovery
• Application-aware restore with known-clean state
  ‍

Rubrik customers often face unnecessary costs:

• S3 versioning inflates storage via 128KB rounding
• Cross-region replication duplicates snapshots
• No support for incremental S3-native backup
• File-level restore requires archival mode with costly AWS EBS Direct APIs
• 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
