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 chose Druva because of their strong customer focus, the breadth of services offered, and the product's functionality and performance.
I found the other products we tested or used in the past to be less capable than Druva Security Cloud, some of their configuration was very tricky to get right and the recovery of data wasn't always straight forward. I liked the care and attention the Druva Security Cloud …
The pricing was better and ease of setup and use was better. Druva Security Cloud's reputation also preceeded them of being simple and fast. The fact that they supported all of our O365 environment in a single product was paramount. It was nice we didn't have to purchase a …
Some competitors Excel at either endpoint protection or SaaS apps, but not both. Druva gave us a single platform to protect laptops, Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and more—streamlining management and reporting.
We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our …
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.
Druva is more cost effective for our environment then crash plan. We are also able to get more of our Junior technicians in the space to help support our staff with backups. crash plan was also difficult to implement and required almost around the clock maintenances and changes …
The major component was the cost. I just took a trial for the backup solution but when I asked Druva Security Cloud for the same it was very cost affective and easy to use for me then barracuda.
We use both Druva and OneDrive together to provide a bulletproof backup solution. Both of these are running constantly backing up our data. I wouldn't neccessarily compare both these solutions, but more say how they compliment each other on what they do. All solutions have …
The below are some the reasons Druva Security cloud stacks up against all the others: cost saving- it removed the need for hardware, or software maintenance centralized management - there is centralized management and improved visibility across native apps.
Druva Security Cloud's integration was seamless and the portal much more user friendly and easily understood. Ease of use and reporting makes it far superior to our Dell integration in the past.
There really is not a comparison. Veeam is one of the only products that we have ever found to be just as good or better than was advertised. I would recommend it to anyone.
Veeam Backup for AWS was easy to use and the GUI was much familiar since the Veeam backup was already used to backup different workloads such as File servers , virtual machine and SQL servers, Client was happy with the negotiations done with the Sales person from Veeam and …
It's hard to manage and maintain, and there is no integration with on-prem tooling. There is very poor support and lower effort on external integration. I feel like I should use an open-source solution while paying for an enterprise product. There is tricky debugging in case of …
The cost has been better that other cloud storage options. Also, the flexibility to run on various hardware and flexibility to store in various locations has been a big selling point. Unitrends was easier to setup and manage as hardware was included. But, with knowledgeable …
Backup Exec was perfectly suited in the old backup paradygm, but they failed to jump into the virtualization world. Veeam did that specifically and is now the backup leader.
Afther thar Veeam, our company had AWS Backup.When migrate to Veeam Backup for AWS inmediatly the operation and recovery time were less. We very like its efficiency and facility to operate. Our administrator and operator have skill on Veeam Backup and replication on premise. …
I like the intuitive interface and the flexible aspects of the software, which combine into a powerful yet cost-effective tool that my staff can understand and utilize to manage our backup and restore environment.
Our client has been satisfied with Veeam Backup for AWS until now. We did evaluate Rubrik but felt that Veeam Backup for AWS was superior as we had used Veeam Backup before. Rubrik probably works well for multi-cloud, hybrid environments, hypervisors, etc., but I guess the …
I was a former user of Veritas Backup Exec, even before Veritas was acquired by Symantec. At that time, we were only running physical servers and backing up to tape. Things have come a very long way since then, and Veritas has not kept up. The software itself was cumbersome, …
I haven't used others. Veeam Backup for AWS has been the only offering I have used. It does everything I need it to do and more, so there has been zero reason to evaluate other products.
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 Backup for AWS works best on the AWS environment. However, it falls short on other cloud infrastructures as well as on hybrid or multi-cloud environments. So it is highly imperative to ascertain the needs of your clients keeping in mind the criticality of the workloads, the data transmission, the network, security, and the infrastructure before deciding on which backup to suggest.
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.
There are intentions to renew Veeam backup. the reasons are pretty straightforward and self-explanatory. Veeam PM provides best backup solution which can be explored from the answers to other questions. other obvious reason, moving from one platform to other platform is expensive exercise plus it's a time consuming exercise. So till the time Veeam costs and the features are in line with enterprise expectation well good
Usability is really high on my list when it comes to software/applications. As with all new technologies, there is a bit of a learning curve, but things are relatively easy to find. Occasionally you have to do a few extra clicks, but for the most part, it's quite user friendly and intuitive. You don't have to go a dozen levels deep to find what you're looking for - or at least the surface level issue.
I think that this factor is the best benefit to use Veeam Backup for AWS. It is really to use and the user experience is really amaizing. Our backup operators are doing his jobs easier than other solution than we had in the past.
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 Backup has never failed me, whenever we have needed to recover data it has worked flawlessly. It is highly available and I do not know of of a situation where our business has needed Veeam Backup fo AWS and has not been able to access or use it in some way.
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 not really noticed much difference and only notice it when doing work afterhours with our veeam being backed up. However, this is not the case as we do not do this often and hence we don't really have any real challenges for performance issues. Overall, we find that the performance is pretty good
I can't downvote this facet on account of my never having to call upon Druva's Tech Support. Self-help is always my first port of call and the documentation provided by Druva has allowed me to proceed to a point where I can confidently use the system. Even without support, I trust the system implicitly. That said, I'm pretty sure if and when I need it, it'll be awesome.
One of the best and leading backup solution with central management for all Virtual Servers, Physical servers and Application level backup. Migrated from distributed backup solution running at each site to central VEEAM solution which has reduced overhead of backup administrator and improves the backup performance. Veeam team is very supportive in solution design, taken care of all our requirements and provided the cost effective solution.
We had only one due to the pandemic, but we remember really enjoying the help. Someone came to our site and walked us through the process and we had lots of time to ask questions and got really helpful solutions and tips and tricks to make sure that staff would understand and learn how to use it
The training provided online was good. The training was restrictive to users but was content was good and informative. The information provided was relevent and flow was maintained well. The Question and answers were good and supported well. Need to have more material provided with the training and will support users to adopt train the trainer approach.
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 were pretty happy with our implementation as it was simple to deploy and we followed the technical guide online with out much technical assistance from vendor support. We had also tested and streamlined a process based on our own documentation for our own company which was simple to follow overall for deploying into AWS for future instances
We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our experience was better for what we got/needed.
The cost has been better that other cloud storage options. Also, the flexibility to run on various hardware and flexibility to store in various locations has been a big selling point. Unitrends was easier to setup and manage as hardware was included. But, with knowledgeable staff, I'm able to manage this backup environment better than ever now.
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.
We have using this solution since 2020. In that moment we had four Host Linux and today we have forty vm Linux and Windows. The solution work fine as with few vm as multiples vm. The backup operators lovely this feacture, because keep simple his duties. Finally, we use the same solution for AWS, Azure or onpremise. This is great characteristic for skill transfer over backup team!
More importantly it reduced 60% of our operational overhead and time savings in maintaining the backups.
This also tremendously reduced the manual failures like deduplicating the backups and there were many cases it saved us 40% of our entire bill by taking point in time backups.
It saved 1000's of dollars when we used the DR plan and rolled a new infra in less than few minuted with less manpower and less time.
Personally, I find that it helps me save a lot of time and effort as it is pretty easy to use and user-friendly. Veaam has proven to be a very reliable backup option for us over the past year.
Depending on the size and complexity of your AWS environment, backup and recovery performance may not be as fast as you would like. This can be particularly challenging if you have large volumes of data or need to perform backups frequently.
