Reliable backups have protected all cloud data and now provide quick recovery for users
The features include easy setup, easy to use, and unlimited storage. Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup has positively impacted my organization by helping us with lost productivity when someone deletes a cloud-stored item and we can retrieve it easily. With wrong creation of Teams and no owners assigned, we get notified. It helps me worry less that in the worst-case scenario, mailboxes and Teams are easily restorable to continue with online learning at a very low risk. It also proves useful, for instance, where a user accidentally loses or deletes an important email or a file in the mailbox. The team can easily restore what has been lost.

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 is deployable anywhere. It is also scalable and reliable."
"We've noticed fewer data losses by 90% compared to our previous tool since implementing Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup."
"The product enables us to restore lost files."
"I appreciate that Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup saves everything for us, and it's secure and write-once, which means the data cannot be corrupted."
"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup support is 10 out of 10. Once a customer buys any product, they can instantly get support from the Barracuda product serial number with this local team."
"The most valuable feature of Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup is it's synchronized well with Microsoft 365. Additionally, the solution is able to identify through Microsoft Defender if there are viruses and will provide a notification."
"Overall, it's a good product, and I've been happy with its capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the AI with threat detection that can detect ransomware and restore it."
"It's patch-based, so you don't have to bother about the backup server or the repository."
"I found the cost-effectiveness of Druva Phoenix to be its most valuable feature, especially when compared to on-premises backup solutions."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"The solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
"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."
"The initial setup was very straightforward."
"The most valuable features of Druva Phoenix are the simple portal to log in and flexibility."
"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

"Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup can be improved by addressing that when performing a restore, the search filter and the mailbox filter can be confusing, depending on what you want to achieve."
"Navigating through folders and finding files can be a bit slow, taking up to three to five seconds between clicks, which feels slow compared to the speed in SharePoint or a browser."
"The reason I would not rate it higher is that response times for complex cases and the escalation process sometimes can be improved."
"They should adapt to new parameters as the market grows."
"I think new IT workers will struggle to recover data from Barracuda Cloud-to-Cloud Backup due to the user interface."
"The solution may be improved by allowing integration with other platforms."
"The tool does not support Google Support. I have only Microsoft 365 customers. I don't have a good solution for my G-suite customers."
"Locating and recovering files can be confusing."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"Although, sometimes there is a restriction with the number of OS platforms that this solution supports."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product's pricing is fair and competitive."
"The product's pricing is based on the customer's needs because every customer is different."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"This is a cost-effective solution."
"The price is reasonable compared to 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."
"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."
