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 Druva Security Cloud
Prefer Druva for the simplicity of setup and cost.
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 …
It's hard to compare - you have to evaluate your organization's needs to pick what is best suited. Additionally, factors that require planning, such as an ever-changing and evolving landscape, may necessitate adjusting your approach to a problem, which may include considering a …
Veeam Data Platform offered a better, easier to use product at a significant cost reduction than Bacula Enterprise. Bacula was almost 5 times the cost of Veeam Data Platform and, having now used both in my career, Veeam Data Platform is absolutely the better product in terms …
Veeam Data Platform is much more vast in terms of features compared to the Veeam Data Platform backup for Salesforce product. Although the Veeam Data Platform backup for Salesforce is pretty good at what it does. It lacks the ability to be able to restore all objects at once. …
I used Quest at my previous employer and it was wonderful. Their pricing increased over the years while not offering any new features. We looked at their new offering (qorestore and netvault), but that was significantly more expensive than Rapid Recovery so we looked at other …
I used these products at other businesses. That said Veeam is by far more flexible than any other backup product I have ever used. While many have a reporting/overview product, Veeam ONE is also the most comprehensive single-pane-of-glass tool I have ever used as well.
Veeam is much more robust and easy to manage than the competitors that we used in the past. I never got the same feeling of confidence with those backups that I have now with Veeam. The pricing was also similar or better, and less complicated since there is just one type of …
We didn't have a true solution before and we went off the recommendation from our vendor to help us get the solution setup and ready to go. So far we are very happy with the recovery and the ease of use of the product. I would definitely purchase it again in the future.
Commvault is a standard backup platform for Enterprise backups, but we have no need for its extensive client abilities or the staff for the vast infrastructure that is required to use it. Cohesity is a truly fantastic system, but it is too far for larger companies than the one …
Struggled with the complexity and cost of previous solutions. Veeam Data Platform has been easy to use and has allowed us to recover data from our backups with a few easy clicks.
The previous products I used did the job but not elegantly. Veeam Data Platform made it easy to install and configure. Our backups are tested using sureback and verified daily. I don’t anticipate looking for another product for awhile.
We have always gotten the use and features promised by Veeam Data Platform where other providers either couldn't deliver or didn't have the feature set. Veeam Data Platform tends to under promise and over deliver.
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.
Veeam Data Platform is best suited in environments that fall under its compatible applications, which it backs up. Any sized business could benefit. The ease of use and metrics are a breeze and the learning curve is low. However, if you're using hypervisors, products that have no support by Veeam Data Platform, then clearly wouldn't be a great fit. Their workaround for this by using OS level backups for baremetal deployments but increases the risk of failure when doing restores.
Veeam stands out among backup solutions because of its ability to work with almost any storage type. For example, only a small portion of backup solutions will support catalyst stores, Veeam does.
Veeam is extremely flexible when it comes to setting it up. I had a network recently that limited ethernet connectivity between the Veeam VM and the backup repository and Veeam handled it easily.
Day-to-day use of Veeam is very simple. It is easy to train our technicians to use it proficiently in a very short amount of time.
Our Veeam VMs don't have issues very often, but the one or two times I have called for support, they answered right away, and the technicians assisting us were knowledgeable about their products.
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.
The platform has consistently delivered strong performance, reliability, and innovative features that align well with our data protection needs. Its robust capabilities in backup, recovery, and cloud integration have significantly improved our operational efficiency and disaster recovery planning. The only reason for not giving a full 10 would be our ongoing evaluation of emerging technologies and solutions to ensure we are maximizing our IT investments. Overall, Veeam Data Platform has proven to be an invaluable asset to our organization.
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.
If you are familiar with most Windows software UIs, there should be no issue learning Veeam. Even better if you're already familiar with backup strategies, &c., since all of that is integrated and possible. I doubt my grandmother could use it, but she's not the target audience. If you've been in IT for a bit, this is very usable.
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.
The Veeam Backup & Replication solution is up and running every time you need it as it was planned. In more than 3 years that we have been using the product every night, it might have failed or presented an error once or twice, so the availability percentage is almost at 100%.
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
Veeam does a good job with backing up our servers in a timely manner. We are still at the beginning of our Veeam use and are pleased with the speed at which we can access the system as well as the backups and restore points. Veeam is definitely superior to our previous backup system in terms of speed and accessibility
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.
The support team has never asked me to jump through silly hoops or waste time on pointless exercises. They seem to truly have a handle on what may be wrong. In fact, when we were having trouble getting our license renewal setup (because of yet another license migration at Veeam) a support incident got us connected to the right people to get our renewal done in time.
I rated the in-person training an 8 because it was generally effective and provided a solid foundation for understanding the Veeam Data Platform. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaged, making the sessions interactive. However, I felt that some topics could have been covered in more depth, and additional hands-on exercises would have further reinforced the learning experience. Overall, it was a positive training session that adequately prepared attendees for using the product, but there's room for improvement.
I gave it a rating of 7 because, although the online training offered valuable content and covered the essential aspects of the Veeam Data Platform, it lacked interactivity and opportunities for direct engagement with instructors. This made it challenging to ask questions or delve deeper into specific topics. Additionally, some sections felt a bit rushed, which could hinder a comprehensive understanding of more complex features. Overall, while the training was useful, improvements in interactivity and pacing could elevate the experience significantly.
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...
When deploying Veeam, be sure you have your environment right-sized. While it is not a big deal to increase capacity later, it will make a difference if you are trying to run Veeam on instances/VMs that are not appropriately sized on CPU and Memory requirements.
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.
Commvault is a standard backup platform for Enterprise backups, but we have no need for its extensive client abilities or the staff for the vast infrastructure that is required to use it. Cohesity is a truly fantastic system, but it is too far for larger companies than the one that I work for. Its cost also makes it prohibitive for SME's like us. Norton Backup was so long ago, I don't know if it even exists. It was difficult to use, had very slow recovery times, and I don't miss it at all.
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.
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.
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.
