Overall Satisfaction with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud
As we migrate more data to M365, we were conscious that native M365 lacked the backup and restore capability of our classic file storage systems. We wished to replicate our on-premises restore facilities, both to enable restore of a file after deletion and removal from the M365 recycle bins, and also as a secondary repository for Druva Data Resiliency Cloud purposes in the unlikely event of any failure at a Microsoft datacentre.
- User Self-Restore
- User Management
- Automatic onboarding of data
- When SharePoint sites are deleted, these show up on the dashboard as failures
- Some backup failures each day when backing up huge datasets
- At the moment, it is an extra cost, but once we have fully migrated we should be able to remove existing tape library infrastructure
Office 365 - backs up OneDrive and Exchange which are able to be restored by end-users. Also Teams, SharePoint and Groups for Admin-only restore

Evaluating Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Competitors
- Price
- Product Features
- Product Usability
Ultimately the price for capacity provided was the key factor in our decision, but what really put Driva InSync ahead of the competition was the simplicity and ease-of-use of the user self-restore portal
I would perhaps pay more attention to licence pricing for extra capacity above the standard 50GB per user allowance, as this may not be enough for us in future.

Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
We did. This was a management decision above me, but the support has been excellent.
Not a particular time, but I am very impressed with the support provided. I have mentioned to colleagues that it's probably the best user support I've had from a company. Quick responses, straight to the right person. We also have regular meetings with the customer success team which are happy to take our ideas and suggestions on board.
