RBRK: Key Takes from Analyst Day & Positive Field Checks at Rubrik Forward 2026

y price volatility. And we heard that there may have been some pull-forward in the appliance market

more broadly. However, partners indicated the impact on Rubrik has been limited. They noted that hardware represents a

relatively small component of the total customer cost and argued that buyers continue to prioritize cyber resilience over modest

price increases. To this point, one large GSI estimated that the cost of hardware today is roughly 15% of a RBRK customer’s TCO.SOFTWARE The key takeaway is that higher appliance costs may create some noise around timing or budget conversations, but they do not

appear to be changing customer motivation, competitive win rates, or RBRK’s broader demand trajectory.

Commentary on Rubrik Agent Cloud and AI Security. Feedback on Rubrik Agent Cloud was positive, though all contacts agree it isEQUITY still early. Partners described strong early customer engagement with a consulting firm contact noting customers were impressed

by the product’s intuitive and easy-to-use interface. In addition, the strategic rationale for Rubrik Agent Cloud resonated well in

our work: as agentic AI adoption grows, customers will need visibility, governance, and the ability to recover or roll back agent

actions. Thus, RBRK’s existing data visibility and recovery heritage give it a credible right to play.

We view all of this as a positive development. But we want to temper near term enthusiasm. At both RBRK and Zscaler (ZS, Neutral)RESEARCH event this week, checks suggested that AI security products are still largely in the discovery phase today versus contributing to

near term sales. Customers are asking about Rubrik Agent Cloud, and partners view the story as compelling.
