Overall Satisfaction with Druva Phoenix

Druva Phoenix is used in our virtual environment to back up all critical infrastructure. It allows us to easily take backups and move them off-site into the cloud, which kills two birds with one stone. It's also used to quickly test our restoration efforts by pulling down recent backups directly into our environment alongside the production systems.
  • Integrates well with VMware vSphere.
  • Annual health checks.
  • Detailed reporting on credit consumption.
  • Interface could use a revamp to be more intuitive.
  • Appliances could do more snapshots at a time.
  • Appliances could upload faster if allowed to utilize more than 1023mbps.
  • Positive ROI by allowing us to get rid of our deduplication appliance
  • Positive ROI by allowing us to change retention quickly and effectively.
  • Positive ROI by encrypting in transit.
Ease of use, I don't have to spend a lot of time focusing on this appliance. It just works and gives me back my time to focus on other things.
It's been pretty easy to get a hold of the Support team and they work well to resolve our issues. I wish I could email support directly (which we used to be able to do) versus having to login to the console and report an issue from there, that's a feature I'd like to see brought back but otherwise, their Support team is pleasant to work with.
VDP wasn't being actively supported and so we needed a solution that would last us for years down the road, it was a blessing that we found Druva Phoenix when we did. The integration into vSphere was a critical piece in making the decision to go with Druva Phoenix over others.
It works really seamlessly in a vSphere environment, just a one-time setup of a new appliance and you're up and running.
