Beatrice  Rice - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at AT&T
Modernized backup has replaced legacy hardware and now saves space with flexible recovery
The best features Clumio offers are that it is very easy to operate. I appreciate the encryption features, operational reporting and analytics, ransomware recovery, and data storage in the cloud or on premises. I use operational reporting and analytics by relying on the reports and insights that we receive, which enables us to make data-driven decisions. We are able to know when our backup system is operating properly or when it is not operating as expected. Clumio provides multiple data restoration options that are valuable to our operations. Clumio has positively impacted our organization as we are able to eliminate an aging backup infrastructure and free up expensive rack space.

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

Pros

"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio is a great tool and represents the answer to backup now and in the future."
"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."
"I would definitively say that we have been able to make our people more productive by at least 30%."
"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 provides a return on investment and operational cost reductions after implementation."
"The solution is great for companies that need backup capabilities."
 

Cons

"Since Clumio is a relatively new product, it is not as feature-rich as some of the incumbents, though it remains a superior product compared to other alternatives."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"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."
"Deploying it in a hybrid cloud model involves some minor complexities, though nothing represents a significant challenge."
"The price is always one of those things that you always look to just improve if you're a not-for-profit organization."
"The product's pricing needs to be improved."
"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."
"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 should include a few reporting features that it doesn't provide currently."
"There is room for improvement in the reporting aspect of Druva Phoenix."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"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."
