Overall Satisfaction with Druva Data Resiliency Cloud

We use Druva Data Resiliency Cloud for backing up our Endpoints, Cloud Apps along with the virtual environment workloads. Our users keep deleting stuff on accident so Druva Data Resiliency Cloud helps against that, along with keeping any physical and archival drives. It also helps us have good protection against ransomware and other malicious attempts on our IT infra.
  • It doesn't require a lot of bandwidth or additional resources for either backups or restores.
  • It is easy to implement, the Endpoint and VM clients work flawlessly once set up.
  • The Geofencing functionality makes sure that certain backups can be restored from any remote location.
  • The FRQs are also looked into in-depth.
  • There's no option to delete the most recent Phoenix backups, which can be a little bit of an inconvenience at times.
  • The configured VMs aren't listed in the alphabetical order, which can be fixed.
  • Some backups need to manually being led through the firewall.
  • From a security point of view-, it's definitely great having the anti-ransomware and AWS cloud features for our peace of mind.
  • The combination of incremental backups and deduplication ensures good cost savings.
  • Simplification of backups is easy even for non-technical features; it's pretty much a plug and play solution,
We do use Druva Data Resiliency Cloud both for our Endpoints( both iOS and Android + PC) and O365( SharePoint, Exchange and OneDrive). It handles all of these systems nicely and we haven't faced too many issues.

The O365 users are easily pulled from the AD and the profile settings are easily configured. The Endpoint settings also provide the option to assign specific bandwidth and CPU resources to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud, which is a nice touch.
Across both Insync and Phoenix- it is almost too easy to add more data. Our Marketing team recently added a bunch of data from AWS glacier to Druva Data Resiliency Cloud warm storage, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent; we can pull these files off much quicker and effectively now compared to before.
While Veeam, Druva Data Resiliency Cloud and Rubrik are all great at what they do- Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is hands down the winner when it comes to being a completely cloud hosted solution. With Veeam and Rubrik, the backups sometimes get complicated because of the on-prem/cloud combination.

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud also provides a better GUI and pricing in our experience during proof of concepts, so it was an easy choice.
