Workforce mobility and the rise of cloud
services is an essential part of any business, but it creates a number of
challenges for IT. Data spread across devices and cloud services, unpredictable
schedules, and varied network connections all complicate efforts to protect and
govern enterprise information.
The Druva Cloud Platform (formerly Druva inSync &
Druva Phoenix) provides unified data protection, management, and information
governance across endpoints and cloud…

Chose Druva Security Cloud
We liked Druva better for our company and environment. At the time of purchase, Druva outperformed the competition and was able to backup everything in our environment.
Before Druva Data Resiliency Cloud we used Veeam with the cloud provider 11:11. Veeam was great and did what it needed to do BUT it left a large footprint on our production environment with setting up gateways and proxy VMs for the data. 11:11 was iLand and they were always …
Druva was the cost leader during our search for a cloud-native backup solution. We were pleasantly surprised with its speed and ease of use as well. We feel it was the best fit for our infrastructure.
the service and solution is costly and out of budget and hence we had to select and go with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud which was very cost efficient and was doing the intented work which was needed that to backup data and protect against cyber attacks. Backup as a service at …
While Veeam, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Rubrik are all great at what they do- Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is hands down the winner when it comes to being a completely cloud hosted solution. With Veeam and Rubrik, the backups sometimes get complicated because of the …
Druva has an easier to use front end. the overall cost is also a factor. The support provided has been excellent. We had a detailed POC nefore selecting Druva. During the POC while Druva may have been sloghtly more expensive they provided the best package of features and …
While we like both Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Veeam, what sets Druva Data Resiliency Cloud apart is it is much easier to deploy for O365 cloud-to-cloud backups, we didn't need any additional infrastructure, whereas Veeam wasn't as flexible with the deployment, so it was an …
Compared to Veeam, Druva was more feature rich, easier to integrate and much less complex. Also, Druva GUI supports all kinds of workloads within the same GUI so you don't have to log into multiple portals, also the Support is 24/7 and the proof of concept was in-depth and useful.
The way Druva Data Resiliency Cloud stacks up against the Veeam products I was looking into at the time is that eventhoguh Veeam was a more nuture company, I thought that Druva was more developed on the cloud side since that is were they stated and did not have to try to …
In terms of product support, Druva Cloud Platform is much better than Veeam backup. Our major point for selecting Druva Cloud Platform was that it helps large organizations backup data to a specific network and also helps restore data in less time. Compared to Veeam, it has …
With Druva, I have complete and total control and insights of my backups and restores. With Druva the End user has an interface that they can login to and do restores of their files. The Admin interface is great because I can not select certain files that just don't need to be …
I love how I safely backup all my organization data, Office 365 documents from Microsoft Exchange online, SharePoint Online, it seems to work well with on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployments. I also like how easy to connect to 0365 and start running the backup effectively. …
Veeam gave us the most flexibility at the lowest cost. It was also the easiest to use and easiest to restore from. AvePoint had some nice features, but ultimately it was frustrating and difficult to setup. Druva was convenient and very easy, however it's expensive and only …
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.
From my experience the solution scales well for a single tenant but for companies with multiple tenants management could quickly become complicated, especially if multiple I.T. support people all need access to handle restores. But if you're in a single tenant environment even with alot of accounts and mailboxes I think this solution could work well for you.
My CFO seemed to have lost a whole year of important emails. I simply restored them to his mailbox in a matter of minutes.
An employee left the company but an issue came up with a quote this person sent out. I could search his mailbox and got the quote as well as all communications from that customer.
It is nice to be able to search emails in various mailboxes without disturbing the user.
It is also nice to go back in time. Say they deleted those emails last month I can go back years if needed.
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.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 isn't 'multi geo' aware - this means we have to manually select resources to back up depending on their geo-location.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 doesn't backup Private Channels users create in a Team - there are workarounds for this but it would be nice if this just worked.
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.
Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 just works so well and is so easy to use. I researched multiple options for Office 365 backup and none seemed to be as easy to setup and use as Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and the pricing was very comfortable to us. I can't imagine any reason why we would change away from Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365.
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
Simply put: - easy to use - set it and forget it, minimal management - fairly intuitive GUI, but I still think it could use a little fine tuning - logging is concise and easy to understand - alternative geolocations maintained in separate sites to keep data segregated per requirements
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 have a lot of data, and pulling backups out of the store sometimes takes a bit of time - but this is within acceptable tolerances. I don't expect restores to be instantaneous, and I can't quantify if the speed is software or data repository.
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!
We have contacted support for Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 using the Veeam Support portal. We open a case ticket on their support site and assign a priority based on the severity of our issue. The support team usually responds promptly and corresponds via emails or meetings. They sometimes ask us to collect the relevant logs and attach them to the case for further research. So, the whole process is streamlined.
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.
Compared to AvePoint and Metallic, recovery granularity at Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 is granular and managing the solution is easier. We chose Veeam Data Cloud for Microsoft 365 due to its vast number of options and high stability. This is done with such concern; competitors offer other integration capabilities and verification of backups that the platform surpasses.
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.
