Druva Phoenix vs Veeam Backup & Replication

• Recoverability: The speed with which backups can be located and restored is the best I've ever seen.
• Visibility: it's easy to keep an eye on what's successfully backing up and, more importantly, what's not.
• Availability: Anywhere, anytime; if you need to recover data in a jiffy you're not tied to a specific local server interface - the web console is easily accessible from anywhere.
• Simplicity: Configuration of backup jobs is straightforward and guides easily followable.

• Creates a working VM copy of your VM servers
• Backup and replications are very quick once you have run it the first time. I replicated new servers that had a 127GB drive in less than 15 min because it only backs up the data, not the entire drive.
• If a backup or replication fails, you can set it to try again and that usually works. I have most of the mine set to retry 3 times.
• If there is a problem like a backup failed it will email you so you don't have to babysit it.

• Not easy to find on the homepage.
• It's very hard to find prices, which is a big deterrent to me as a buyer.
• High barrier to entry for prices for very small companies. I'd rather pay than use the free option, but it's prohibitively expensive for me as a 1-person company.

• 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.
