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 customer service and support are really good."
"The disaster recovery feature."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"The product offers very easy configuration capabilities."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"The most valuable feature is disaster recovery."
"The management, backup, and recovery features are all very good."
"We turn on the solution and it works well for backing up our data, it is easy to use."
"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 found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"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."
"One of the best features in Druva Phoenix for me personally is that it is an air-gapped environment, where you can keep cloud backup on a separate air-gapped environment and save from any kind of ransomware attack, and it is a ransomware safer environment because a customer gets a separate environment."
 

Cons

"The solution should increase its security features."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"The reporting could be improved. I would like to see some enhancements in that regard."
"Some proactive alerts or emails are not currently available."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"The speed of the backup process in the solution can be improved"
"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"The solution is expensive."
"Druva Phoenix is optimized to work with x86 platforms, making it unsuitable for backing up non-x86 architectures like AIX. The solution is primarily designed for physical Linux and Windows systems based on the x86 architecture, as well as virtualized Windows and Linux environments. However, if you have an AIX system, it cannot be deployed in the cloud, and therefore, backing it up in the cloud is not a concern."
"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."
"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."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have been using pay as you go with Acronis, so the price is good.​"
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is good value for money."
"The solution is a bit expensive, but it's worth the price."
"We pay for whatever we use, and they bill us accordingly."
"The solution is moderately priced, where it is neither cheap nor expensive."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"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."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
"It's very costly. Normal people wouldn't understand how their credits are calculated. It's pretty complex."
"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."
