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 product offers a user-friendly dashboard and a seamless backup process"
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"A valuable feature is the user-friendly control management. I appreciate the integrated service, where just one agent and one virtual management are needed to handle everything. The solution is highly stable. I rate it a nine out of ten. The support has been consistently excellent. The initial setup is straightforward."
"The most valuable features are its ease of use, the speed, and its got a reasonable amount of granular control."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has very easy backup and recovery capabilities."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud provides unlimited backup features for Office 365 accounts."
"The user interface is the most valuable feature for me because I can manage backups and teams in one console."
"It is easy to use. I don't need any help to figure out how to do it. It is also very easy to install and upgrade. It is very simple and easy to use for restoring. It supports universal restoration. I can restore a full machine to another hardware with this, which is a very good feature."
"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."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"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."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"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

"There is more room for improvement in the training."
"We've had some troubles with the data center."
"The pricing policies could be improved. So in future releases of the product, I would like to see better pricing, primarily."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with SIEM solutions."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"​The logs could be better. Logs through the website are just too simple and basic.​"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. You don't have to pay any additional costs."
"It is good value for money."
"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"We pay monthly for the use of the solution."
"The pricing is a little lower than the competition, at least in India."
"The price of the product falls under a medium range."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
