Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud assisted us and our customers in achieving offsite, immutable air-gapped backups, which were required for Cyber Insurance purposes.

Pros and Cons

Easy to setup
Ease of use and management
Reporting and alerting

I think reporting could be improved
Native Azure support
I believe the UI could be improved, although this is constantly being refreshed

Return on Investment

It has reduced our support costs of managing backups. Virtually 0 support tickets
The PAYG model can deliver unpredictable results, depending on source types and dedup rates
In my experience, it is easy to setup, therefore our time to deliver has reduced dramatically

Druva inSync Support for SaaS Apps and Endpoints

We protect all M365 applications (EOL, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams) with Druva. Similar to hybrid workload, it is easy to setup and configure and then manage by exception. Backups are effortless, restores are easy with data easily identifiable via the extensive search function. Great features include:

Account synchronisation with Azure AD
Auto discovery of Teams & SharePoint sites
Auto configuration of Teams & Sharepoint

Scalability

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

Druva Data Resiliency Cloud is an easy to use product that "just works'. To me it is a configure and forget suite of products. I think it is well suited for the protection of virtual workloads on VMWare, Hyper-V and AHV. In addition, to File servers and NAS appliances. In my opinion, it is not the best product for physical workloads, as image based backups are not supported.
