Considered Both Products

Both products had good reviews and nice features. For us, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud looked like a more comprehensive solution and the pricing was better. We've been using it for 8 years now and it's been working great.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Druva is a unique product in the data protection space and does things very differently. This means they are often presenting a very different approach to other vendors in the space. This usually leads to a more modern approach to protecting workloads in both on-prem and cloud …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
CommVault is a good product but interface is not that easy and management is on complex side

Chose Druva Security Cloud
In terms of support and services.
Their product is competitively less expensive but the availability of data can not be compromised due to lack of support and services. Druva's OEM support makes it unique and top of the line.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Along with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud- during our selection procedure we also evaluated Veeam and Carbonite. While all seem to be good solutions- Druva Data Resiliency Cloud went far and beyond to make sure that our free trial was excellent and the features that we had wanted …
Chose Druva Security Cloud

Compared to the above three competitors Druva Data Resiliency Cloud overall meets all our preferences and goals that we wished to accomplish from cloud protection and backup vendor. I personally like the product so much that over the last 6 years I've had Druva Data Resiliency …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
While both Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Veeam serve our purpose well, Drive provides a better ROI and service overall. We also don't experience backup failures with it, the GUI is also single and unified to use once you start getting used to it well. So I personally like …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Easy setup to backup our entire environment from M365 to our datacenter and it all can be done from one single pane of glass.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Druva is great in that the Data is backed up to the cloud. It also offers the Cloud Cache which is functionally the same as what Veeam does but is included in the cost of Druva.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
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 …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Druva is a full backup solution as a service, in contrast to Veeam Backup and Replication, which requires the admins to provide and manage their own servers, networking and storage access.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
We considered Spanning but Druva came highly recommended by fellow IT colleagues. We chose it based on personal recommendations and after seeing a demo. It was exactly what we were looking for in our backup solution.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
I have used Veeam before in a previous org and it also worked well for our needs, but we choose Druva Data Resiliency Cloud as they provided a solution for us that worked in terms of backing up data, the implementation resource was also excellent to work with. and we were able …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Didn't provide the support or had the level of features, based upon the cost to value ratio. It didn't provide all the solutions we desired, in the same management, dashboard form that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud provides us.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
No comparison as Veeam only had on-prem storage solutions. Drive is all cloud
Chose Druva Security Cloud
The positive points in the previous responses are what tilted us in the direction of Druva.
Chose Druva Security Cloud
Druva blew Veeam out of the water. We had constant issues with Veeam and finding a compliant cloud that actually worked how we needed it. We went from struggling to make Veeam work and keep it working, to barely having to monitor our backups. Druva absolutely outperforms Veeam …
Chose Druva Security Cloud
The ease of use between the consoles in Druva is unrivaled! The restore speed blew me out of the water the first time I restored a 150GB server directly from the cloud in under 10mins!
Veeam Data Platform
Chose Veeam Data Platform
Veeam Backup &Replication has resolved the cost of the disk and media issue that we have faced in NetBackup. It supports Physical and Virtual environments with Cloud integration. We are able to protect the data on premises as well as in the cloud.

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.

Veeam Software
I've been using Veeam for years, and it has been very consistent. Once it is set up and working, it keeps working. The biggest disruptions to Veeam have always been the upgrades. Veeam tells me about cool new features, and I upgrade, but then the upgrades seem to not install correctly, and I run into huge problems and have to contact support. You are guided to email-based support, and they don't respond and resolve issues quickly, which leads to a lot of stress. Then I remember to look up the support phone number, and that always leads to getting issues resolved. So, in summary, the product is great, but I wish they would push harder to get customer support tickets resolved quickly. It is very stressful not to have Veeam running when it is so essential to our business.

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.

Veeam Software
  • File-level restore is quick, reliable, and much simpler than other platforms I've used
  • Replication is extremely simple to configure and test
  • Agent setup for user endpoints and subsequent backup storage is incredibly simple
  • Cloud repository configuration is extremely straightforward and well-documented

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.

Veeam Software
  • Easier way to coordinate or schedule jobs at one location or among multiple. For example, If I'm running a backup at one location, and I have another job going at another location where I want to replicate to the first location, some sort of feature so VMWare is aware there's a backup going and it should wait.
  • Additional reports, such as monthly reports that shows how many restore points were created per VM and how many incremental points failed for a VM in a month.
  • A feature that gives a better overall view of all your restore points, what jobs they belong to, their age and where the data lives.

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 Software
I have used many other data backup products that are on the market. I trust the configuration options within Veeam to do as they are labeled, without any specific back end software changes that may cause backups to fail if you don't use a systems integrator.
I trust the product for my own home environment as well due to relationship I have with the product at work.

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

Veeam Software
Veeam is fairly simple in terms of how it is set up; its not an overly-complicated dashboard that can be intimidating to less technically-inclined users. Veeam also offers good instructional videos to help users work through how to do specific functions. I appreciate that they have specific video tutorials rather than having users scroll through a cumbersome manual.

Reliability and Availability
Druva
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.

Veeam Software
I give Veeam Data Platform a rating of 9 for availability because it consistently performs reliably in critical data protection and recovery tasks. The platform is designed to minimize downtime, ensuring that backup and recovery processes are accessible when needed.While there may be rare instances of maintenance or minor application errors, these do not significantly affect the overall reliability of the system. Veeam’s strong architecture and features like high availability configurations further enhance its performance, allowing us to trust it in crucial situations. Overall, it has proven to be a dependable solution that meets our organization's needs effectively.

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

Veeam Software
To identify a bottleneck in the data path, Veeam Backup & Replication
detects the component with the maximum workload, the component
that works for the most time of the job. For example, you use a
low-speed storage device as the backup repository. Even if VM data is
retrieved from the SAN storage on the source side and transported over a
high-speed link, VM data flow will still be impaired at the backup
repository.

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!

Veeam Software
All support cases were solved in a timely manner and there was no unnecessary communication needed to get the answers that were needed to solve the issue. Also the mail communication after closing support cases id on point without too much nagging for feedback or reviews of the completed support tickets.

I rated the in-person training an 8 because it was generally effective and provided a solid foundation for understanding the Veeam Data Platform. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaged, making the sessions interactive. However, I felt that some topics could have been covered in more depth, and additional hands-on exercises would have further reinforced the learning experience. Overall, it was a positive training session that adequately prepared attendees for using the product, but there's room for improvement.

I gave it a rating of 7 because, although the online training offered valuable content and covered the essential aspects of the Veeam Data Platform, it lacked interactivity and opportunities for direct engagement with instructors. This made it challenging to ask questions or delve deeper into specific topics. Additionally, some sections felt a bit rushed, which could hinder a comprehensive understanding of more complex features. Overall, while the training was useful, improvements in interactivity and pacing could elevate the experience significantly.

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.

Veeam Software
(I assume this question should say "Veeam" and not "Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform") Planning is key. Planning your backup schedule, size, data restore points, replication if you're doing that, &c. Testing is also important; make sure you back something up and then do a test restore. Set up alerts so you know if things aren't working (or even if they are, always good to know that too).

When evaluating Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, we compared it against several market leaders. After extensive testing, we confirmed that Druva Data Resiliency Cloud stacks up well against these products due to the following features: Ease of use Simple to setup & configure Eliminates up front cost, commitment and capacity planning Immutable by default Flexible configuration options Single management interface

Veeam Software
Before we chose Veeam Data Platform, we compared it with CommVault and Rubrik storage management solutions. However, to compare them by strengths, it was Veeam Data Platform that offered better VM integration and a way easier management console. One was the fact that it was cheaper to use than the other platform, which was packed with a number of features.

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.

Veeam Software
In terms of scalability for our company, Veeam was able to cover our backup needs with ease. They have options for even more individualized backup if we were to need them; i.e. if a specific workstation needs its own independent backup. We have not used these resources yet, but I am confident they will be beneficial to our company in the near future.
