Overall Satisfaction with Druva Security Cloud

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We implemented Druva Data Resiliency Cloud to back up our Endpoints, Servers and VMs. As most end users do, ours keep deleting stuff on accident so Druva Security Cloud helps with that, along with keeping archives. Before Druva Security Cloud we were doing physical backups of our in house servers and trusting our hosts to do the same for anything virtual. Druva Security Cloud has exponentially improved the quality and speed of our backups, as well as the breadth of what we are backing up ourselves. The Druva Security Cloud product is easy to use, provides peace of mind for our end users and also streamlines operational efficiency for our IT team.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Robust admin web management portal that offers a fairly granular user privilege setup and the ability to add different regions in backup
100% cloud backup solution that was implemented well and easy to use
The support team is 24/7 and easily accessible
Users can independently recover their data

Cons

No admin smartphone application
More customizable and on demand reports
UX cosmetic bugs

Return on Investment

Hard to quantify the peace of mind security and data protection give you if you haven't had a major incident, but 100% worth it in our minds
Reallocating time our team used for physical backups to other value add work
End user file/version recovery that the IT doesn't have to do

Scalability

We have been able to consistently add data on the Druva Data Resiliency Cloud platform and have yet to face any scalability issues. Druva Security Cloud is a solid solution that simply works and take little effort by our team once it was set up and running. The health checks and quarterly business reviews are very helpful to show the value to the top management and to keep us focused on where we are trending. not to mention that it is 100% cloud based means there are no hardware/storage restrictions like you may have had with physical backups.

Alternatives Considered

Rubrik and Veeam Data Cloud Vault

We also reviewed Veeam and Rubrik and while all three were good options, Druva Security Cloud won out as our completely cloud hosted solution of choice. Druva Security Cloud seemed to have a better user interface during the POCs. The sales team was proactive and pricing in our experience was better for what we got/needed.

Likelihood to Recommend

100% cloud backup solution that was implemented well and easy to use. Great communication from our AE through the process and whenever needed. There is a robust admin web management portal that offers a fairly granular user privilege setup and the ability to add different regions in backup. Druva Security Cloud doesn't require a lot of bandwidth or additional resources for either backups or restores. Users can independently recover their data. We are able to back the files up both individually and at a group level. The support team is 24/7 and easily accessible.

Biggest con, in this day and age, is that it would be great to have an admin smartphone application. More details when the backup is running would be nice as well as more customizable reports. Also some cosmetic bugs related to the UX, but nothing huge.
