Room For Improvement

Druva Data Security Cloud needs improved backup speed, pricing transparency, UI navigation, reporting customization, integration, and customer support.
Norton Small Business requires better pricing, enhanced features, and fewer notifications to improve user experience and market availability.
There is a limitation in the advanced reporting features, such as understanding how many files are in the backup, which users are actively using it, and how many files have been backed up properly.
Multi Property IT Manager at John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc.
They could integrate an EDR tool during backup. By integrating with that tool, they could easily rectify cyberattacks, miscellaneous attacks, and ransomware.
Technical Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
There is not enough transparency on pricing.
System Engineer at TEKsystems
 

Setup Cost

Druva offers cost-effective SaaS data security with scalable pricing, predictable billing, and flexible yet complex licensing requiring no extra hardware.
Norton Small Business offers affordable yearly licenses but frequent upsells for additional features can be a drawback for some.
Compared to other applications that we are paying for, Druva's pricing is fair.
Multi Property IT Manager at John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc.
Prices for the solution are quite high.
Technical Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing shows that there is not enough transparency on pricing, and it should be more transparent.

Tilak Rohitsingh - PeerSpot reviewer
System Engineer at TEKsystems
Backup has protected our organization-wide email data and supports fast malicious deletion recovery
Some of the best features that Druva Data Security Cloud offers are endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery. Out of endpoint backup, ransomware protection, cloud apps, and eDiscovery, I find the infinitely scalable feature to be the most valuable in my day-to-day work, as it does not have any maintenance windows, which is different in terms of data protection. When it comes to features, I appreciate that Druva Data Security Cloud boasts less complexity found in solutions that are not built for the cloud while remaining secure, scalable, and always available, without requiring a maintenance window. Druva maintains the data protection solution, not the customer, and the platform is always up to date with the latest features, which makes it very scalable, as new capacity can be added to subscription on the fly without changes to the backup setting and without needing to purchase and install new appliances or software. The impact of Druva Data Security Cloud on my organization is significant, as it ensures users' data is backed up with snapshots and is very secure on the cloud. I benefit from prompt and clear assistance from Druva support, and the ease of access into the web portal provides a view into a snapshot without having to restore it first. Specific outcomes I have seen with Druva Data Security Cloud include peace of mind knowing our users' Office 365 data is backed up and very secure, along with improved security, additional protection against accidental deletion of mailbox items, and a means for remedial action after a malicious incident that deletes or encrypts users' data.

The initial setup phase is very easy and user-friendly
I had tried Kaspersky a long time ago. I think it is available only in India. I don't know for sure. I have used that one for a couple of years, but I didn't like it, and that is the only reason I went back to Norton. Kaspersky was not safeguarding me in all aspects. I had seen some loopholes in the tool, so that is the only reason I went for Norton. The only thing I like about Kaspersky is that it supports the mobile version.
