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

"We can block certain ports and USB ports for data loss prevention."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"The product is stable and has good performance. The product is scalable The solution is easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it can cover both the cloud and the on-prem devices."
"The customer service and support are really good."
"The update process is quite efficient. They send admin alerts one day in advance when updating data centers or products."
"Stability is a ten. No issues, no performance drops, and no crashes."
"The product has been very reliable from day one. The biggest advantage of the cloud is that you can scale up and down as you go along."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"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."
"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"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

"I faced some problems with the solution's local sign-in part."
"Advanced backup is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"It will be good if Acronis can provide more documentation and videos describing how to do different things. Their documentation is good, but it is without examples. They don't have lots of videos. They should put more videos on YouTube to show how to set up certain things, how to restore, and how to back up. They should provide step-by-step documentation and videos for specific scenarios. I would like them to improve the command line feature. The command line is not working smoothly, and there is some problem with it. If the command line is improved, it will take the product to the next level. It would be great if it can back up data from storage so that people are able to back up old data. Such a feature will make it an enterprise solution for a full backup."
"I don't see any room for improvement in the solution itself, but their marketing could be better. Dealers and customers aren't aware of this product or the company, so maybe they should concentrate more on marketing."
"The shortcomings in the solution can be overcome if the product improves in the area of completion time so that the restoration process does not take much time."
"The solution is expensive."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"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."
"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the product's pricing a seven out of ten. The solution costs around 75 USD for 1TB per month."
"The product is not that expensive, making it a product that can be considered for purchase. I rate the product's price a four on a scale of one to ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"I recommend the tool's monthly licensing model."
"The solution is moderately priced."
"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."
"I assume clients use Druva Phoenix because it is cheaper than other products."
"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."
