Workforce mobility and the rise of cloud
services is an essential part of any business, but it creates a number of
challenges for IT. Data spread across devices and cloud services, unpredictable
schedules, and varied network connections all complicate efforts to protect and
govern enterprise information.
The Druva Cloud Platform (formerly Druva inSync &
Druva Phoenix) provides unified data protection, management, and information
governance across endpoints and cloud…

Chose Barracuda Backup
Barracuda Backup is far more simple and easy to manage, we selected this over competitors because it gave a simple set and forget backup for cloud to cloud with unlimited retention. It also gave a very simple to use interface for monitoring backups of required. Pricing and …
Overall not impressed with Barracuda backup and we decided to move away from it. I wasn't involved in the selection but the organization has had it for years when the market was very different.
Barracuda Backup offers a full cloud to cloud offering and when we were implementing and building, Veeam did not have a full cloud to cloud offering, but rather a cloud to on prem, which we were concerned with the bandwidth usage and additional need to monitor as well as …
We actually ran both of these systems at once to provide end to end coverage. This worked extremely well for our internal email systems and provided great protection for our end users and great backups of all messages to and from the corporation. The combination of these two …
I [have] used a number of solutions in the past and in all cases I replaced what I used with the Barracuda solution. It was a simple and fast solution to deploy and easy to get staff up to speed on using the product. Support was top notch when deployment time came, they …
All solutions have their positive, neutral, and negative points. Veritas Backup Exec is excellent too. But it is more expensive and does not offer a management interface as friendly as Barracuda Backup is. We also have brand reliability because other company employees have also …
Barracuda Backup compared very favorably to Veeam Backup & Replication because it has all of the most necessary features you would expect in a backup solution, but can be deployed much faster and is easier to manage. The Linux based appliance reduces the need for using a …
All mentioned venders above did not give me the one-stop-shop approach to backup that I was looking for. Also, global deduplication and compression was a huge saving on local space. Most venders also charge per VM or per application being backed up, and this is cost-prohibitive …
The time necessary to manage Barracuda Backups is leaps and bounds superior to Backup Exec. Backup Exec has tons of great features but required constant maintenance. In the end we just wanted the ability to easily schedule, set retention periods and the ability to backup and …
Barracuda was a much more cost effective solution than the others we evaluated. Its interface was light years ahead of Avamar, and its cost was much lower than Unitrends. Avamar had it beat in backup time, and Unitrends was a more mature product. In the end, Barracuda won out …
We used to use a product that Symantec offered. The problem was that it was not able to connect to Mac machines to back up data. This was a big issue, since we have Executives and marketing employees that use Macs. We also tested Druva inSync. It offered a lot of features that …
Barracuda has been one of those must have tools for our IT shop. Quick, easy to use as well as safe and secure are a few ways to describe this product. Email archiving is made to keep your end users happy knowing that they have all of their past emails at their fingertips.
Each backup solution has its pros and cons, and each customer has their needs, and budget constraints. Barracuda Backup has helped us dramatically in the area of being able to provide customers a cost-effective solution, that's easy to manage and is one of those things you're …
We have used DATTO as well as Symantec Backup Exec. DATTO is 2X the cost of Barracuda for apples to apples specs. Also, we have not had good experiences with the DATTO (pushy) sales people. Backup Exec is a local on-premise product, when if you get a crypto infection it can …
While many solutions, such as Acronis and Symantec Backup Exec rely on number of agents or database services, Barracuda and Datto rely on total data storage. Barracuda's key feature is the hardware refresh. After 4 years of maintaining subscriptions, customers are entitled to …
Barracuda is MUCH easier to set up and use then Unitrends. Unitrends does not offer direct download of backed up files from their cloud, while Barracuda does. Unitrends uses a non-standard and difficult to use implementation of retention/archiving. Unitrends' backup to Amazon …
I'm much happier with how Barracuda lays out their console and user interface. Acronis is a great product and you do get what you expect. But to have a the learning curve personally cut by at least 50% is a great thing to have when it comes to training new members to the IT …
For cloud only solutions, this may be great for small businesses or individuals, but the ability to have onsite as well as offsite backups makes recovery faster and more diverse to ensure all areas of data can be recovered quickly.
Barracuda has a rock solid reputation in the business, and sells quality products that any company should stand behind. I've not used any other product that has the level of quality that Barracuda does.
Some competitors Excel at either endpoint protection or SaaS apps, but not both. Druva gave us a single platform to protect laptops, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and more—streamlining management and reporting.
We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our …
We liked Druva better for our company and environment. At the time of purchase, Druva outperformed the competition and was able to backup everything in our environment.
Druva is more cost effective for our environment then crash plan. We are also able to get more of our Junior technicians in the space to help support our staff with backups. crash plan was also difficult to implement and required almost around the clock maintenances and changes …
The major component was the cost. I just took a trial for the backup solution but when I asked Druva Security Cloud for the same it was very cost affective and easy to use for me then barracuda.
We use both Druva and OneDrive together to provide a bulletproof backup solution. Both of these are running constantly backing up our data. I wouldn't neccessarily compare both these solutions, but more say how they compliment each other on what they do. All solutions have …
The below are some the reasons Druva Security cloud stacks up against all the others: cost saving- it removed the need for hardware, or software maintenance centralized management - there is centralized management and improved visibility across native apps.
Druva Security Cloud's integration was seamless and the portal much more user friendly and easily understood. Ease of use and reporting makes it far superior to our Dell integration in the past.
At this point, being a smaller organization, we do not have the need to explore any of Druva's current offerings. When the time comes, we know right where to look. We have been more than impressed with everything we have gotten from Druva Security Cloud and their team.
Before Druva Data Resiliency Cloud we used Veeam with the cloud provider 11:11. Veeam was great and did what it needed to do BUT it left a large footprint on our production environment with setting up gateways and proxy VMs for the data. 11:11 was iLand and they were always …
The Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform stands out from the competition by employing a multipronged strategy. Rubrik Security Cloud also offers scalability and data recovery while Cohesity DataProtect best performs by reducing the need for data silos. I believe that Druva …
Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's, encryption, single management portal and integrations made the decision easy. The pricing and the three year term made it even easier. When my cybersecurity insurance carrier mentioned Druva Phoenix as one of the best back up solutions to …
If you are a small business with a few machines and your backups aren't of servers that are public facing. If you had to restore a server from backup, it would take a day at least. So, if the server being restored was public facing, that may impact customer relations.
We are a cloud-only shop, so Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is a natural fit. We do not have a large Azure VM presence, so I do not know how well they play in that space. If you are not cloud-focused, I am not sure that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's strengths will be easily seen. However, in the cloud they are tough to beat.
The cloud control is great!! I'm able to restore files and folders from basically any machine on the Internet. I can restore either the local machine I'm using at the time, or directly to the server from which it came.
The user interface. Very easy to use and understand. Loads of options and configurations you can optimize for your particular needs.
Instance replacement. We have had an issue with one unit due to some hardware failure. Barracuda was amazing on getting this replaced quickly and getting us back on track.
You can't define backup systems to just go to the cloud, it has to be stored locally as well, which eats up the local storage.
These appliances are high-priced for a small amount of storage and if you want to upgrade, you buy a new appliance. There's no replacing hard drives, you basically move up $5K for each 2Tb and replace the entire appliance each time. It's not a healthy model for growth.
This is the second company I've brought to Druva. Just today, I was tasked with recovering a file from a user that last saw it 6 months ago. I was able to restore it in under 5 minutes of getting the request. It's really that easy.
Dashboards and interfaces within Barracuda Backup are very easy to navigate, with clear success/warnings shown. Setting up backup jobs is probably one of the most simplest tasks - compared to competitors we trialed. Trouble shooting backup issues is also simple due to clear errors (VSS errors shown in a understandable format for example)
Usability is really high on my list when it comes to software/applications. As with all new technologies, there is a bit of a learning curve, but things are relatively easy to find. Occasionally you have to do a few extra clicks, but for the most part, it's quite user friendly and intuitive. You don't have to go a dozen levels deep to find what you're looking for - or at least the surface level issue.
Like any service, there are scheduled maintenance periods and unscheduled outages, however outages have been very limited and fortunately have not had any impact on our environment.
Page response in the admin center is acceptable- rarely are we waiting for data to load. Backup speeds seem fine, and restore speeds are OK considering it's likely pulling data from cold storage. It often takes 30-60 seconds for the restore to begin transferring files, but speeds are acceptable thereafter
They are always quick to get you routed to a tech support person and always get follow up after contacting them. Last experience was amazing, she adjusted my boxes and they perform even better. I cannot say enough about the support. We had some trouble with one of the windows servers leaving the volume shadow copy out there and would fail. They worked with us to adjust and get working. After that it has been months since I have had to do anything with the server to keep the backups running.
I can't downvote this facet on account of my never having to call upon Druva's Tech Support. Self-help is always my first port of call and the documentation provided by Druva has allowed me to proceed to a point where I can confidently use the system. Even without support, I trust the system implicitly. That said, I'm pretty sure if and when I need it, it'll be awesome.
Implementation from cloud ranger to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform was a seamless integration experience to upgrade the policies and license for continual backup/recovery support. This may be one of the best "set it and forget it" apps for backup solutions, that also allow notifications for failures etc...
The time necessary to manage Barracuda Backups is leaps and bounds superior to Backup Exec. Backup Exec has tons of great features but required constant maintenance. In the end we just wanted the ability to easily schedule, set retention periods and the ability to backup and restore. Barracuda does this exceptionally well.
We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our experience was better for what we got/needed.
As the product is cloud based within AWS, scaleability is unlimited. The on-premise units of scale are predictable and allow administrators to scale up / down as needed. In my experience, the flexibility around these appliances, allow organisations to vertically or horizontally scale the environment with confidence and ease. Conversely, it is possible to set thresholds to ensure that organisations do not over commit and manage budgets effectively.
More importantly it reduced 60% of our operational overhead and time savings in maintaining the backups.
This also tremendously reduced the manual failures like deduplicating the backups and there were many cases it saved us 40% of our entire bill by taking point in time backups.
It saved 1000's of dollars when we used the DR plan and rolled a new infra in less than few minuted with less manpower and less time.
