Every month we host a Stock Battle on our X page between two competing companies. Which one is the favorite of our followers? And find out which one we believe has the stronger fundamentals.
This round brings you Commvault Systems vs. Rubrik — two leading data protection players battling for dominance 🔐💪
Commvault is down 20% YTD, while Rubrik — public for only 18 months — is sitting at +7% return YTD. Are these differences justified? 🤔
In a world of rising cyber risks, only the strongest data-protection platforms will win.
Who takes the crown in the battle for data-protection leadership? 👑
Commvault Systems and Rubrik solve the same problem — keeping mission-critical data safe — but with two very different strategies.
Commvault Systems, founded in 1988, gives large companies a wide range of options to protect and recover their data. Its platform works more like a modular toolkit: separate components for backup, recovery, and analytics that can be combined and customized. This makes Commvault a strong fit for big organizations with complex setups, even if it takes more time and effort to configure everything.
Rubrik, launched in 2014, takes a simpler and more unified approach. Everything—backup, recovery, and security—is built into one integrated platform. It’s easy to set up, easy to use, and designed with zero-trust security from the start. Rubrik is especially popular with companies that want a clean, ready-to-go solution without dealing with multiple tools or complicated workflows.
Commvault is a flexible Swiss Army knife, ideal for large, complex environments that need detailed control. Rubrik is an all-in-one, easy-to-use platform, focused on simplicity and strong built-in security.
According to Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant, both Commvault and Rubrik are positioned as leaders in data protection.
