Cloud backup has reduced storage costs and now delivers fast, reliable data recovery
My overall experience in this field is seven years. The deployment model I have chosen for Druva Phoenix is mostly cloud-based backup. Government authorities and government customers majorly opt for on-premises deployment, but we have a very limited customer segment from that area. Druva Phoenix primarily operates on a private cloud, with some customers utilizing hybrid cloud solutions. If I assess the effectiveness of backup features in Druva Phoenix, particularly in minimizing operational disruptions, I would rate it as a very strong 9 or 9.5 on a scale of 10. I am not using Druva Data Security Cloud. My overall review rating for Druva Phoenix is 9.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."
"It has a straightforward installation."
"You don't need a certified administrator to manage this product."
"The most valuable feature about Druva is that it is 100% based in the cloud, scans the backups for ransomware, has a security element, includes unlimited uploads and downloads in the price, provides a granular approach to backup and restores so that customers can retrieve individual files, is incredibly fast, and dedupes all your data and only charges you for the amount of data that's been deduped as opposed to what it originally sees."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the most valuable features is it is available on the cloud, so I do not need to make a firewall. Second, the backup speed is outstanding. The third thing is that the section policy is very good and gives you a lot of flexibility and granularity regarding what you need to back up."
"All the data is well encrypted. In addition, the data is split into pieces so that if an endpoint is attacked or compromised with any kind of ransomware, the compromised machine can be relocated or restored. All the data that was previously backed up can be restored from the cloud. It has a lot of security features. Druva currently offers only the cloud version on AWS. Being a cloud solution, Druva goes by a lot of security compliances and provides a security portfolio. People are very skeptical of the data security in cloud solutions, and Druva has given consideration to that. It has some good geo-location features. If a machine is lost, when the machine is switched on and connected to the internet, that machine can be geo-located and tracked. It also has got the geo-wipeout feature. If someone tries to take out the data from a lost machine, they won't be able to do that. The moment an IT admin comes to know that the machine is no longer with a user, he or she can auto-run the geo-wipeout feature so that the data cannot be read by any third party. Duality replication is a unique thing about this solution. Everybody's data is not backed up if the data is common. Similar data is not backed up from other machines. The data backup also happens very smoothly. The bandwidth choking is very less. When the data is getting backed up, the users do not even get to know. There is no impact even when the users are not using high-speed bandwidth."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."
"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The best features of Druva Phoenix include comprehensive backup capabilities where you can back up your data with agent plus backup, deploy the proxy, and integrate your VMs to take your backup."
"Once you set it up and you tell it exactly what needs to be backed up, you literally forget about it. It sends you emails and notifications of the current status of the jobs."
 

Cons

"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"To make Druva inSync better, they can implement additional DLP."
"Auto registration of non-domain machines is missing, as registration is a manual process of creating a key and adding it to the client."
"The support team generally needs to be more proactive with technical and general suggestions."
"The user quota is an area that needs to be improved."
"Druva inSync is very high in price. A general customer cannot afford this solution. Even if the product is good, people cannot afford such a high cost just for taking the backup. This is a recurring investment, and the customers have to pay for it every year. Druva is also yet to develop the channel and the channel or partner commitment."
"I have faced some challenges with these integrations."
"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."
"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"The ransomware features are limited in Druva. There's a lot of improvement needed. It should extend to Nutanix and Hyper-V. It should extend to Azure as well."
"They were able to give us a very reasonable price considering we were non-for-profit organizations, however, there is always room for improvement on that cost."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."
"It is an expensive product for the middle class or SMB customers in India. A lot of top-level big companies also cannot afford this solution. During the license period, one can download the entire data from the cloud without paying any additional cost. This way the data can be easily recreated from the stored data when a machine is lost or the data is compromised."
"The product is fairly priced, I would rate its pricing five out of ten."
"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."
"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."
"It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."
"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."
"The pricing is good."
"It's very costly. Normal people wouldn't understand how their credits are calculated. It's pretty complex."
"Druva Phoenix's pricing is based on the service provided, and it's reasonable. The cost of the service will depend on the size of your data and the number of virtual machines being backed up. However, the pricing structure is straightforward and easy to understand."
"We’ve had experience with the data center for a while and we have had solutions that were able to support older versions of the operating systems that we needed. I would like for Druva to support it as well."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
