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

"Technical support is great."
"We can use the tool to set up an automated backup from our on-premises server directly to the cloud."
"I do not need to touch my firewall, especially when it is managed by the provider and takes ages to do a single NAT."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that its console itself is user-friendly."
"Once you deploy, it's very easy to manage. It took us about an hour to deploy."
"Part of the reason we selected Acronis as our backup solution is their amazing support and installation."
"The platform's most valuable features include its backup functionality, particularly the snapshot and image backup capabilities."
"It covers the need to block threats, investigate incidents, and ensure disaster recovery. This approach aligns well with current cybersecurity trends."
"The solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
"Druva Phoenix provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"We chose the best one that works for us which was Druva Phoenix."
"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."
"Druva Phoenix is easy to use and easy to start with."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution should increase its security features."
"Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud needs to be more flexible with its pricing."
"Technical support needs to be improved because they do not respond in a timely fashion."
"The platform's interface could be user-friendly."
"Acronis may claim it's due to security reasons, but I believe there should be an option to delete specific files from old backups stored on the Acronis Cloud. Currently, there is no such feature, and I strongly feel the need for a deletion option for erroneous backups."
"I would rate the product an eight out of ten. The tool needs to have better protection. The tool should be also able to take backups while users are offline and upload to the cloud whenever the internet connection is restored or if there is a good bandwidth."
"There could be some changes done to the action page to simplify it."
"Not many people know about this product, so they may need to concentrate more on marketing."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"They were very much responsive a few years back, but in the last one or two years, I believe the responsiveness has gone down."
"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."
"Druva Phoenix could be improved if they provided bare metal recovery for physical servers, which would be beneficial for server deployment."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
"Druva Phoenix should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
 

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 solution is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies."
"The cost of Acronis Backup Cloud is good. They have several licensing models that customers can choose from."
"Acronis is cost effective and I would rate it two out of ten."
"There is a free trial available in order for people to evaluate it."
"I would rate the pricing of Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud as five out of ten"
"Acronis offers a 30-day free trial of the product."
"It's a monthly payment of $1,000 USD."
"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."
