Overall Satisfaction with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud

We use Druva for backing up and restores of different workloads of ours including Endpoints, Cloud Apps and Hybrid workloads like Azure and VMWare. Thanks to Druva we no longer have to spend a lot of time and effort managing on-campus hardware, everything seamlessly gets backed up to the Druva cloud.
  • The Customer Success team conducts routine health checks which are really helpful.
  • The backups do not interfere with the end user's work environment, everything happens seamlessly in the background.
  • Support team is also helpful and prompt.
  • The advanced ransomware recovery option isn't available for all workloads.
  • Some alerts are unmutable, which can get a little spammy.
  • The pricing could be slightly better.
  • Our backup and restore settings have been significantly simplified.
  • Druva's tasks happen in the background so no loss of business continuity.
  • The cloud is the future so Druva is innovating excellently and taking our feature requests.
We protect our entire Office suite with Druva- including Exchange Online, Sharepoint, Teams and OneDrive. The deployment happened quite smoothly, and we didn't face any issues at all- the Support made sure we were up and running quickly.
In years of usage we haven't faced any issues on any live restores, they happen quickly and efficiently.
I believe Druva supports excellent scalability capabilities. Whenever we add a new workload or endpoint or server we never see the backups getting destabilized or processes broken.
We have multiple terabytes of data on the Druva cloud and the end server capabilities have been terrific, we have plans of scaling up soon and look forward to it.
Compared to Veeam and OneDrive- Druva offers a lot more layers for backup protection and data locking.
The backup policies are also much more flexible and robust in terms of their options provided. Price-wise also Druva compares nicely to these competitors when you consider the features and services you're getting in return for your investment. We're happy and sure we made the right choice of vendor.
