Single item recovery has transformed mailbox backups and now provides faster, precise restores

Druva inSync can improve if we can integrate a chatbot. Instead of going through the portal, if there were a chatbot and we could restore mailboxes and groups by chatting with the chatbot, that would be an added feature. The restoration of notes is a limitation. Druva inSync is not capable of restoring notes. If users have something saved in notes, Druva inSync will not be able to restore it. If it could enhance the capability to restore notes, that would also be helpful. If it were to enable chatbot functionality and by just saying to the chatbot to restore a mailbox or restore an item to the mailbox, that would enhance productivity. There is some limitation of restoration for certain folders. If those could be fixed, it would be a perfect product.

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

"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."

"We get control over authentication policies and create an agentless backup by generating a token for that."

"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature, and requiring very little effort for implementation as well as the simplicity of configuration are all very useful."

"On a scale of 1-10, I rate this solution a 10."

"The recovery aspect of the solution is its most valuable feature."

"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."

"Druva is offered as a service so that we can access it from any enterprise-based browser or URL. We also have a single sign-on, which allows me to log in securely. Hence, I can easily access the system, configure it, perform day-to-day monitoring tasks, and check for any issues or configurations needed. Overall, it's a simple and easy-to-use tool with a high-speed and straightforward interface for management."

"The way they handle the backups is pretty good."

More Druva inSync pros

"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."

"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."

"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."

"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."

"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."

"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."

"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."

"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."

More Druva Phoenix pros

Cons

"One functionality I would like is the ability to manage multiple Office 365 tenants from a single console."

"If I could have an accelerator or something to back up the solution on the cloud, that would be helpful. Also, it would be helpful if the accelerator could give me a buffer of a couple of days for any kind of immediate recovery on an offsite."

"The product needs to improve its support."

"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 would like to see security improved in the next release."

"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 user quota is an area that needs to be improved."

"The one area that needs to improve is the pricing."

More Druva inSync cons

"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."

"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."

"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."

"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."

"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."

"The product's pricing needs to be improved."

"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."

"Druva Phoenix could be improved if they provided bare metal recovery for physical servers, which would be beneficial for server deployment."

More Druva Phoenix cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a seven out of ten, with one being very cheap and ten being very expensive."

"The pricing is thirty-five dollars per year or three dollars per month per user."

"Out of all the solutions we evaluated, Druva inSync was the most affordable."

"The pricing is good."

"The pricing of Druva inSync is very high as compared to other cloud backup solutions."

"The price is quite good, It's approximately $4000.00 per user for one year."

"Once you decide to go with this product the cost can be worked out with the vendor."

"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."

More Druva inSync pricing and cost advice

"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."

"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."

"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."
