Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Druva Data Resiliency Cloud since it is super easy to use with a single pane of glass with Advanced Ransomware Protection. It helps us have less data on the office premises and have the cloud manage most of our backup needs. AWS end cloud provides both Glacier and warm storage which is also secure.

Pros and Cons

The backups are airtight and immutable.
The backups are also encrypted and deduped.
In case of any Ransomware attack we're also offered curated snapshots and a quarantine bay.

Azure VM backups which are currently in the pipeline.
It can be a little pricey.
Some bugs show up when the GUI is updated sometimes.

Return on Investment

We have definitely saved costs in terms of investing on servers and database admins.
The backup process is much smoother now since the product essentially runs on its own once set up.
The AWS end destination cloud is secure and multilayered from protection point of view.

Druva inSync Support for SaaS Apps and Endpoints

We use Druva Data Resiliency Cloud for Exchange Online, Sharepoint and OneDrive. It was easy to implement, and the GUI offers easy and flexible options to filter and sort by user mailboxes, storage space consumption and license type. It also provides free Shared resources for backing up shared mailboxes, MS Teams is also available which is helpful.

Scalability

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is super scalable- we have added and removed entire data centers and SaaS apps in the past without any issues whatsoever. We plan to have over 50 plus Terabytes of data in future and are fully confident that the platform should be able to scale up according to our further need without any issues.

Alternatives Considered

Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 and Veeam ONE

While we like both Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Veeam, what sets Druva Data Resiliency Cloud apart is it is much easier to deploy for O365 cloud-to-cloud backups, we didn't need any additional infrastructure, whereas Veeam wasn't as flexible with the deployment, so it was an easy pick. Pricing-wise also Veeam is a lot on the higher side compared to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud.

Likelihood to Recommend

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is well suited for customers looking to have a single, simple GUI to manage their database admin-related workflow. It makes it easy to implement backup policies and manage them. Probably not a good fit for Azure VM protection right now and users looking to have in-office hardware servers for backups.
