As businesses adopt a cloud-first strategy, reducing on-premises infrastructure and moving IT and business applications to the cloud, the limitations and costs of traditional data protection and disaster recovery become more apparent. Druva Phoenix™ provides a cloud-native approach that helps businesses accelerate their journey to the cloud by reducing infrastructure management and improving business resilience. Delivered as-a-service, Druva Phoenix boasts…
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 …
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).
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. …
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
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.
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 …
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 …
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.
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.
