Druva Security Cloud vs. Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention

100% cloud backup solution that was implemented well and easy to use. Great communication from our AE through the process and whenever needed. There is a robust admin web management portal that offers a fairly granular user privilege setup and the ability to add different regions in backup. Druva Security Cloud doesn't require a lot of bandwidth or additional resources for either backups or restores. Users can independently recover their data. We are able to back the files up both individually and at a group level. The support team is 24/7 and easily accessible. Biggest con, in this day and age, is that it would be great to have an admin smartphone application. More details when the backup is running would be nice as well as more customizable reports. Also some cosmetic bugs related to the UX, but nothing huge.

It's definitely best for customers. If your main collaboration tools are hosted on Microsoft 365, and your company uses M365, this is a no-brainer. So this integrates pretty nicely with all Microsoft applications. So it becomes a no-brainer to go with this. Less appropriate would be like if you already are using another solution to do classification, I would still stick to Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention being that classification, but if you want to use it in the scenarios where you already have a tool and you're classifying documents, data, using that tool and you want Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention just to label and apply protection documents that is also supported, but the comprehensiveness, the end-to-end story would still be missing if you're investigating an incident.

• We like the option of downloading backed up files both individually and as a group.
• The ransomware protection is a security feature that puts our minds at ease when it comes to the safety of our data.
• The Customer Success team does frequent reach outs and technical health checks.

• The ability to create groups of people that would access a certain label, having been able to organize the data access to the document access, and protecting repositories with the same level of criticality, regardless of where they're located in the company. That's quite good because we had a lot of document distribution, and it helped provide the same layer of protection regardless of where they're stored.
• The other good thing is that it provided traceability of what was going on with the label. So I could understand how many people were trying to access a document that weren't meant to. So it gave me an idea of how well protection was working, not only because people who did have access accessed it, but also I could trace that people who didn't have access couldn't do it.

• They have more ways to improve in Analytics section and UX.
• I recommend to have to integrate with the cloud storages cheaper option to store backups which would be tremendous for customers to save snapshots costs.
• Love to see Druva Data Resiliency Cloud have a better rbac policy on who can trigger the DR engine.

• I'd say over the last couple of years, there have been some great advancements in Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention, so I really do like that. I think some of the challenges I see with Microsoft Purview Data Loss Prevention today are in the first-party world; it does provide some real-time capabilities, but the alerting on DLP has a big lag. And some of our customers, actually, one of my customers in particular, whom I advise heavily, ran into a situation where they were getting hours of delays when they were getting critical, sensitive alerts. So being able to provide that in a more real-time way for both internal use within Microsoft and for third-party products, I think, would be significantly impactful. E-share, as a platform, also uses DLP in order to automate our policy, as I mentioned before. And some of that is a challenge because some of the capabilities we do need real-time information for aren't exposed to us based on the current capabilities that Firmy provides.

This is the second company I've brought to Druva. Just today, I was tasked with recovering a file from a user that last saw it 6 months ago. I was able to restore it in under 5 minutes of getting the request. It's really that easy.

The product is easy to navigate and manage. Setup and configuration is also easy. We did not need to pay for any additional professional services. Our account team worked with use on the integration. It was not complex or difficult to learn how to setup and use. End users also have the ability to log in and manage their own files and emails

Just because it's so easy to navigate and, for the most part, even areas that I don't know about, the support channels are very clear and concise, and they respond very quickly to whatever I need. They'll guide me through whatever I don't understand, and sometimes there are a lot of things added in there.

Like any service, there are scheduled maintenance periods and unscheduled outages, however outages have been very limited and fortunately have not had any impact on our environment.

Page response in the admin center is acceptable- rarely are we waiting for data to load. Backup speeds seem fine, and restore speeds are OK considering it's likely pulling data from cold storage. It often takes 30-60 seconds for the restore to begin transferring files, but speeds are acceptable thereafter

We had an issue in my first year that took a long time to fix. The support guy was awesome, took screen shots, filled me in, was professional, but it just took so long. I do think that was an anomaly, but it certainly sticks out nonetheless. Beyond that, we've had pretty good support "relationships" with the reps. They're usually pretty prompt at getting back and quite knowledgeable. Just make sure you have your proxies updated, because that's always step 1!

They are very well knowledgeable. They conducted a two day training session and they explained each and everything.

As an administrator, if I had a user who needed additional training, it was available. As an Administrator, the product was so easy I didn't need it

Implementation from cloud ranger to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform was a seamless integration experience to upgrade the policies and license for continual backup/recovery support. This may be one of the best "set it and forget it" apps for backup solutions, that also allow notifications for failures etc...

We evaluated VMWare as a provider and found their dependence on IaaS or on-premises setup was a deal breaker. Being all-cloud really required that we have a cloud-native SaaS backup solution. VMWare and other IaaS and on-prem providers really could not match Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's abilities, at least not that we were able to determine.

Symantec or now? Brocom. Forcepoint, GPV. I'm trying to think of, there's a couple more. I can't think of the top of my head. I would say closer to the bottom then rather than the top. So because of the fact that yes, it integrates well. But in terms of the actual functionality of DLP, there are other requirements that they just don't have the features for yet.

As the product is cloud based within AWS, scaleability is unlimited. The on-premise units of scale are predictable and allow administrators to scale up / down as needed. In my experience, the flexibility around these appliances, allow organisations to vertically or horizontally scale the environment with confidence and ease. Conversely, it is possible to set thresholds to ensure that organisations do not over commit and manage budgets effectively.

• Using Druva has simplified greatly the backup process. Once fully configured to your business needs, Druva provides a fast amount of backups.
• Druva has saved a lot of time for the IT team. Usually time is wasted by staff members searching for a missing email. Now, they reach out to us or use their own Druva account to locate a missing email quickly and easily.
