Druva Data Resiliency Cloud vs. Veeam Backup for Azure

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is excellent for managing especially Cloud Apps, Legal Holds and other Compliance-related functionalities. It also does an excellent job of making sure that the entire backup goes on the cloud without needing any local servers or contingencies. It also provides protection in cases of Ransomware and any similar threats to the backup landscape.

Veeam Backup for Azure is only suited for Microsoft Azure backups. It can back up anything you house in 365 and give you pretty any scenario for recovery if needed. the only challenge i see is if you need to restore something from a year or more ago. Microsoft will have changed the cloud platform and i could see issues in what and how to restore old documents, and configuration. It may require a microsoft ticket which is time consuming to get the right team and accurate help.

• Support has been knowledgeable, competent, and motivated to assist us.
• Pricing is competitive with other solutions, possibly even better.

• Integration with Backup & Replication

• Support. Not that the support was bad, but I had a situation where it was "try this" "try that". The support rep was great, I just wish things would have moved quicker.
• When I first started using it, there where a lot of updates going on, so I would learn one thing, the documentation would say something else, and the UI was different. I haven't experienced that since though.
• Credential store - not a huge fan of that.

• the only thing I wish that Veeam would do is the ability to combine all services in one platform. We have another backup solution we use for on prem backups to an offline cloud backup source. I wish Veeam had a solution like this, they are implementing Azure resources for backups currently and store in AWS so there is a separation of where data is stored and is offline with ransomware protection. Maybe one day.

The product was easy to deploy and has been easy to manage. The current pricing model is also acceptable. With all of this combined, it just makes sense to renew our subscription to the product. The only thing that may change this is if there is a product or service that we need that either they do not function with or if they do not offer

I'm a sucker for software that does exactly what it says it will do, especially if said task is carried out with a minimum of fuss. Initial setup time for Druva Phoenix was minimal, job creation a cinch and monitoring of successful and unsuccessful backups as easy as you like. What's not to love about that?

This high rating is due to the ease of implementation and the simplicity of the backup and recovery process, as well as the wide range of features and advanced functions for managing backups. Veeam Backup for Azure also features a well-organized and intuitive user interface that makes it easy to navigate and complete tasks. Additionally, its ability to integrate with other Veeam products, such as Veeam Backup & Replication, also improves its usability and flexibility.

I have dealt with MANY support teams in my role as system administer for: Office 365, Concur, Replicon, Webex, Adobe, Dataprise, and MozyPro. The support team at Druva, is far and above the best! They respond quickly, they take action when needed, and they are easy to understand (meaning they don't talk too Techy, to my users). I am very please with all the support we receive from this team!

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 didn't want to run a dedicated server and storage which led us to meet with Druva. Once we met the account team and supporting engineers we were won over with their professionalism and willingness to see any issue to resolution.

We were already using an older version of Veeam in one data center, so the only other solution we really looked at for the Azure side was the free Microsoft Azure Backup Server and it was way too slow and clunky, as well as crashed constantly so it was definitely not worthy of looking into further.

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is built on a cloud-native architecture, which allows it to scale easily and handle large amounts of data. This is one of the reasons why I rate Druva Data Cloud a 10 on scalability. The cloud-native architecture enables the product to automatically scale resources up or down based on the data protection needs of the organization. This means that the product can handle a high volume of data without requiring additional hardware or manual intervention, making it a highly scalable solution. Additionally, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud also supports a wide range of platforms and environments, which allows organizations to protect their data across a diverse set of environments, providing more scalability options.

• In economic terms, Druva is sufficiently economical that recovering the investment made at the time of purchase is easy to achieve.
• Prior to using Druva, we did not have the capacity to grow our ROI to a point where we could begin to see short-term gains.
