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

"From a security standpoint, it provides robust protection to prevent system crashes and data loss."
"I like the disaster recovery feature of this solution and the interface is great."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"Data protection and ransomware protection are the most valuable features of the solution."
"It saves money and time; I have some machines with a very complex setup that take, for example, one week to set up, and in case the machine fails, instead of installing it again in one week, I can restore it in one hour so it saves time and we don't have to bring people again to set up the machine."
"The solution is reliable and relatively easy to use."
"Provides automatic backup operations for middle sized servers and desktops."
"Technically, the solution is good, but we also have to look at the ecosystem, the pricing policy, and such things."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."
"The solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"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."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
 

Cons

"The solution's provisioning of packages and how they are charged could be improved."
"They should integrate the solution with Storage Area Network(SAN)."
"We have used the support and we have been unsatisfied. We do not use it very often but the time we have it was not very smooth."
"The bad point is always customer support and partner support, which Acronis has never changed."
"The solution could improve by being more user-friendly."
"They could support Linux OS primarily for servers."
"We'd like to see more integration for Nutanix, Oracle, et cetera."
"We'd like to see more DLP, data loss prevention."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"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 could be improved if they provided bare metal recovery for physical servers, which would be beneficial for server deployment."
"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 price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"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."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"With the price, there is a certain limitation on terabytes but no limits on how many servers or how many services you can run."
"I am not the one who is paying for it, but based on what I know, it is not very expensive. It has a good price."
"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."
"It's a subscription license with free trial licenses."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud is an expensive solution."
"It is good value for money."
"It's relatively cheap, but you see the benefits more at a higher volume."
"The product is not expensive. It's in the middle. For its capabilities, it's on the affordable side."
"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."
"It's very costly. Normal people wouldn't understand how their credits are calculated. It's pretty complex."
"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."
