Overall Satisfaction with Druva Phoenix

Druva Phoenix is used for enterprise server data protection. Includes cloud servers, on-prem virtual servers, and on-prem physical servers.
  • VMWare virtual server backups via hypervisor.
  • Clean intuitive admin portal.
  • Support for most server OS flavors.
  • System state server backup is not supported. This is not an OS configuration backup tool. Need to run system state dump on Windows which Druva will then backup.
  • Druva Phoenix is not tightly integrated into Druva inSync.
  • Relatively cheap.
  • Low maintenance.
  • Good error reporting reducing admin time performing analysis.
The excellent admin portal and proactively engaging customer success engineers get you what you need.
Proactive support is offered by customer success engineers who provide training as well as hand holding where needed.
Druva Phoenix is much simpler to use, however, has far less sophisticated capabilities.
Great for small shops with relatively simple server and NAS data protection requirements. Good options for scheduling and retention. If speedy disaster recovery RPOs are required, then consider a tool supporting full bare-metal restores.
