Chose Druva Security Cloud
In my experience, the interface for Druva Data Resiliency Cloud was more modern and easier to use.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Commvault was just as expensive, but not very intuitive. OneDrive was fine for basic backups but would have been difficult to implement firmwide in a robust solution that protected all of our production data. Neither product was a smooth end-user experience, and it was …

We had been using Druva for Insync (endpoints) and Phoenix (HyperV). We were using Syncovery for data on servers (NAS and FileServer backups). Syncovery started encountering errors in the automation causing our department to have to manually kick off backups nightly. When a …

Druva
We are a cloud-only shop, so Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is a natural fit. We do not have a large Azure VM presence, so I do not know how well they play in that space. If you are not cloud-focused, I am not sure that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud's strengths will be easily seen. However, in the cloud they are tough to beat.

Mimecast
Mimecast Advanced Email Security is well-suited for stopping phishing and impersonation attacks by detecting domain spoofing and suspicious sender behaviors. It effectively blocks malicious attachments, encrypted files, and dangerous URLs before they reach users. Additionally, it reduces spam volume, preventing inbox overload and improving productivity. Mimecast also helps prevent data loss by enforcing policies that flag or encrypt sensitive outbound emails. However, it is not ideal for advanced threat hunting, as it lacks deep forensic capabilities. It also has limitations in highly customized user workflows where more flexible automation is needed. Internal email protection is another weak point, as Mimecast primarily focuses on inbound and outbound traffic. Lastly, while it offers email encryption, organizations with complex encryption needs may require a more specialized solution.

Pros
Druva
  • 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.

Mimecast
  • URL Scanning to prevent malicious links from being opened.
  • Notifies users of emails that have been blocked and gives them some self-serve options to allow or block them pending certain criteria.
  • Very easy to use interface for admin management.
  • Uptime of their system has been phenomenal.

Cons
Druva
  • 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 would like to see some additional improvement around the attachment protection, specifically what may be getting caught and what types of files are attempting to be delivered via email by impersonators.
  • The Targeted Threat Protection is a great product, and I wish there was a dashboard for this service where we could easily see the types of emails and/or links that have been caught as part of the protection module that could be shared with executives.
  • Finally, I feel that the phishing protection is great and honestly don't believe there should be much improvement needed there.

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.

I gave a 9/10 rating because with the 1 limited resources needs a bit of experience to work on the dashboard, and then Strong protection policies, reliable email continuity and proactive threat intelligence.

Usability
Druva
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

Mimecast is fully customizable. However, there are so many customizable features you must do the training courses Mimecast provides to understand them all and the effects thereof. Once learned, though, Mimecast can be customized to suit all your email security needs.

Performance
Druva
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

Support Rating
Druva
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!

When calling them you get best in the world customer services but as previously mentioned their online community and capabilities are a bit lacking. They want you to log into their portal to see updates on issues (vs. using a public facing service) and I rarely find the answers to my issues in electronic format. Their online presence is only helpful with the simplest of issues.

It has a better interface and is easy to use and understand. It also has better customer service, which is easy to reach. It is also more commercialized, which makes finding products, solutions, and add-ons better and easier to navigate and purchase.

Scalability
Druva
We started very small with this product, only backing up key officers' laptops. After our initial experience, we found it very easy to scale up the product to all company laptops and expand into file servers, VMWare servers, and other production-level data, like Office 365 and Teams. We found the product very easy to scale while remaining intuitive and efficient to use.
