Considered Both Products
Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Retrospect and Veeam. Both of these products are usable, they will back up similar to Druva. Neither product was as easy to monitor the storage I was using, and that was needed as there was a finite amount of space and a lot of work to scale up if needed. Also the file search …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Easy to use, but you have to build the solution on your own hardware.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Druva has a much faster UI and is much quicker to work with. Significantly lower hardware and software requirements, but lacking site-site replication (in the base licensing tier, at least).
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
The way Druva Phoenix stacks up against Veeam Backup & Replication is not a fair comparison. The version of Veeam Backup & Replication we have requires you to backup to some other device whether it is a disk, NAS, tape, or whatever other media so you have to spend more money. …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
VDP wasn't being actively supported and so we needed a solution that would last us for years down the road, it was a blessing that we found Druva Phoenix when we did. The integration into vSphere was a critical piece in making the decision to go with Druva Phoenix over others.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Druva stacks up well against its competitors. I do not remember it being at a disadvantage in any category. Phoenix couldn't provide message-level restore on an on-premise Exchange server but after we moved to the cloud that requirement went away.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
At the moment of making a choice of what system to use, we were debating between going with Barracuda and going with Druva. The main difference is that Barracuda requires that you have a physical device that you have to pay a monthly recurring fee for, and on top of that you …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
We have used Norton BackupExec and their spin-off company Veritas in the past. It was a great product, but we were limited to backing the data up onsite and between sites that we owned. Druva Phoenix takes care of the data for us and we don't spend any time keeping the system …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Other than Phoenix, there is AWS Cloud Endure and Azure Backup and Recovery.

Both tools work well to back up and restore the on-premise VM to the respective cloud, but stop short at the deduplication capabilities.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
They did not have single pane of glass solution that we were looking for. We use Druva to back up VMs, Office365, and Salesforce. Druva also beat the competitors with pricing. It was a no brainer.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
We chose Druva Phoenix over Veeam because the of the backup storage tiering, the performance and the ability to do physical server backups and application aware backups.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Druva is better because it is more of a cloud-based program.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
We are still evaluating products and Druva Phoenix has many features that fit our expectations, but for our specific need and already existing backup infrastructure, other solutions may possibly be a better fit.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
We originally had a local 3rd party IT firm handling our back-ups. Although it was a much-reduced cost, they were not able to handle much of our capacity or requests, as well as charging extra for restoring data. When we broke away from them, the main two products we looked at …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
We used eVault. The support was good but the overall product was subpar.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
I rate Veeam highly, but Druva Phoenix is easier to use and scales up well. Install is more straightforward. Restores are coming from the cloud, so that is a constraint in terms of speed, but the tradeoff is worth it.
Backup Exec was a nightmare and was some of the worst …
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Druva is 100 times easier to set up and maintain. Once deployed, it just works. I am usually surprised to see any failure with Druva, unlike the other products we used or looked in to.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Druva Phoenix is much simpler to use, however, has far less sophisticated capabilities.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Lower cost of ownership and easy setup.
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
This is a much more cost effective and significantly reduces our recovery time to a cloud based soltuion
Chose Druva Phoenix (UNPUBLISHED)
Compared to our previous vendor, Druva Phoenix is way above and beyond what they were offering. Utilizing AWS as their backbone assured us this is a company that we can trust and trust that they will be reliable.

Durva Phoenix is well suited for the VMware platform and has great restore functionality during disaster recovery. We use a different VM platform so our disaster recovery has a longer timeline if there is a critical failure as we need to get a base OS loaded before we can restore the VM data to it. This is the tradeoff between an expensive VM platform and a near free VM platform. Druva Phoenix is well suited to file version recovery if a previous data state is required by your employees or customers. Very quick to restore.

Pros
Druva
  • The best part about Druva is that you deploy, which is fairly easy especially with your technical rep being available for the whole process, and then you let the system do your work. If a backup fails I get a report, there is no need to check it every day or even weekly.
  • The file server backup is great. Searching is easy and the capability to pull back a full folder or individual file makes life a lot easier to support my end users.

Cons
Druva
  • The UI is good, but a bit inconsistent. Some types of backups are shown differently to others. It never gets in the way, but a bit more consistency would be good.
  • The system is usage based, which is understandable, but a shock after using inSync, their other backup product, which is not. Careful planning and thought is needed if you are on a tight budget

Usability
Druva
Certain backup solutions can be cumbersome on how they actually work. Where that's properly deploying hardware or software that will house the backups. Druva is different where the software and infrastructure is completely managed. All we needed to do is deploy agents and proxies and point the backups to Druva Phoenix

Druva
It's been pretty easy to get a hold of the Support team and they work well to resolve our issues. I wish I could email support directly (which we used to be able to do) versus having to login to the console and report an issue from there, that's a feature I'd like to see brought back but otherwise, their Support team is pleasant to work with.

Return on Investment
Druva
  • This is a necessary service to keep your information safe. I would not say that there is a tangible ROI unless you reach a point where your server gets attacked and wiped-out. Then, you can recover your information in an easy manner, which could represent a potential several-thousand-dollar savings.
