Overall Satisfaction with Druva Phoenix

Druva Phoenix is being used throughout HED. We have multiple locations across the country and Druva quickly and accurately backs up our VM's allowing us to not only restore a VM locally but to an alternate location very quickly.
  • VM Backup
  • Easy setup
  • Excellent customer support
  • The web interface occasionally locks up
We use Druva for VM backups, SQL backups and file server backups. The ease of use has helped our admin staff restore information with minimal to no prior training on the Druva web interface.
HED has been using a hyper-converged cloud backup system for several years and storage costs keep rising. Druva has helped us lower our TCO by providing tiered storage options. Data that doesn't need to be readily available can be stored on slower, lower tiered storage which saves us money in the long run.
Druva is easy to set up and easy to use.
I contacted support several times during our first few weeks with Druva and the support engineers were most helpful. Typically a quick Zoom session is all it takes to get the issue resolved.
Druva was a much better fit for our current workflow which is why we decided on this solution.
During our POC with Druva I was not only able to back up a VM, but could restore it to a different host in another city. This is very helpful for our DR planning.
